Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

Using 2000-02-24-08 commercial on NT 4.0
Using 2000-02-24-09 commercial on linux rh6.0
Doesn't happen using mac

When you change the address header type (say from To: to Cc:) on an existing
address header line, a new address line appears.

1.  Open a new html or plaintext compose window.
2.  Type a couple letters into the first address To: line.
3.  For that address line, using the header widget to change the To: to Cc: or
some other header.

Result:  a new address line appears upon changing the header type.

Expected:  changing header type should not add a new address line.

Note:  this happens with reply/reply all compose windows, too.

Mass moving to M16 to get these off the M15 radar.  Please let me know if this
is really an M15 stopper.

Luis- please try this on the current Linux and Windows builds to see if the 
problem still exists.  Thanks.

Moving to future milestone. Would be nice to fix, but I think we have bigger 
issues for Seamonkey.

Marking verified.
There's still a couple situations where this happens, but not in the simple
scenario originally described. I also agree we have bigger fish to fry for this
release, so considering this solved.
