In order to get less spam many people put there email on the web in the form of "john dot doe at mozilla dot org"

It would be nice if you pasted an email address like that in the recipient list that thunderbird recognized this and transformed it automatically to john.doe@mozilla.org

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Interestingly, the fact that the suggested transformation can be automated means that spammers can perform it automatically as well, proving that this attempt to avoid spam does not work well in the first place.

But because not everyone reads this argument, the suggested feature remains useful.
