Build Identifier: 

For example: You have Peter Smith and Andrew Smith in an ldap-directory. They 
log in (account name) as SMITH1 and SMITH2 (cn). If you type Smith, the 
AutoComplete will show SMITH1 <emailaddress> in the mailto field, if you select 
this one. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the compose window
2.Type SMITH in the mailto field
3.

Actual Results:  
there are two proposals:
SMITH1 <andrew.smith@foo.com>
SMITH2 <peter.smith@foo.com>

Expected Results:  
two proposals should appear:
Andrew Smith <andrew.smith@foo.com>
Peter Smith <peter.smith@foo.com>

Only if DisplayName was not found, then the cn should be used.

If you use the search function in the contacts sidebar and search SMITH1, the 
mailto field will show you Peter Smith <emailaddress>.
