281290 - TBird makes a link to address-book inoperable, as well as not enabling pasting of copied address

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I use ACDSee's photo programs, and one of their items is "SendPix" which allows
one to browse into the photo pages to select the images one wants to send.  This
program operates by loading selected images into a web-site for the recipient to
open and view.  The advantage is that in sending multiple images by straight
e-mail the download can lock up the recipient's system while waiting for them. 
SendPix allows the viewer to open that URL and view the images immediately.  
	But one of the procedures in setting up a photo-send is to enter the
recipient's e-mail address.  There is a button next to the frame labeled
"Addresses" which ought to open one's address book, allowing the recipient's
address to be chosen and dumped into the proper link space.
	Using Thunderbird as my default e-mail program makes this button inoperable and
the space for the e-mail address not to accept "copy & paste" at all.  But by
reverting to Outlook Express all of these functions work perfectly.
	I like Thunderbird, but with glitches like this I have had to change back to
Outlook Express as my default program.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Prepare to send a Pix set of images, and try to open the Address book, or to
copy it from my regular e-mail site and paste it in the Pix window.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The Address Book button in SendPix does not open the FoxFire address book, and
pasting from the regular e-mail book does not work.

Expected Results:  
Open the address book, and permit pasting into the address space in SendPix

It seems that ACDSee doesn't support TB.
