282900 - List shows wrong name: left-of-@ part used instead of display name / card in list loses information

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Jan Rieke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 (20041206)

When "moving" (using drag'n'drop and _not_ CTRL key) a contact from the personal
address book to a mail list, the contact in the list loses its first and last
name information. Only the display name data remains.

The card in the mail list seems to be not connected to the card in personal
address book any more: Manipulating the card in PAB does not affect the card in
list.

When selecting the list, the "Name" column shows the left part of the mail
address instead of the display name, although this data is still there.
The properties of the list (double-click on list on nav pane) still show the
correct display name.

The mail address is _not_ present twice in list, so it's not a duplicate of 274292.

Important: This works only for one single contact in my address book. I was not
able to reproduce this bug with any other contact. That's why it's a bit
difficult to find out further details. The address book was originally imported
from Outlook Express, but the import corrupted the mailing lists, so they had to
be restored manually.

Note: Using the CTRL key when d'n'd-ing (resulting in a + shown on mouse
cursor), the card is not show _at all_, but it's still visible in properties.
This bug occured in connection with bug 282899, so i think there might be a
connection.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "Move" card to mailing list
2. Select list to view entries

Actual Results:  
1. Display name populated from mail address
2. List card has lost data
3. List card has lost connection to personal address book card

Expected Results:  
1. Display name used
2. No loss of data
3. No loss of card connection
