292154 - [RFE] during autocomplete/lookup "Collected Addresses" (history) should default to the lowest priority

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 158728

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, enhancement)

Description

[Tom Metro]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: version 1.0.2 (20050317)

See bug #292153 for the general problem.

Until that bug is resolved it would make sense if Thunderbird would
automatically place the "Collected Addresses" (history) address book at the
bottom of the list in the same way it currently places the "Personal Address
Book" (pab) at the top of the list (unless overridden by manual editing of
prefs.js; See bug #275485 Comment #2.)

Normally if you create a new address book, it will be placed below "Collected
Addresses" in the display (and thus search) order.

The reason why you want "Collected Addresses" to have the lowest priority is
that when performing an autocomplete look-up, any address the user has manually
entered should show up in the list of choices before any addresses that were
automatically captured.

Yup, it is.

(Is a 2002 core bug likely to get addressed and merged over to Thunderbird? Or I
should say...any more likely to get addressed than a Thunderbird RFE?)
