Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050927

In Mozilla mail and thunderbird 1.0.7, when composing mail and entering an address, "@mycompany.com" is automatically appended.   (I believe this is taken from the account owners email adress, e.g. [e-mail])   Starting in thunderbird 1.5, this feature is no longer working.

There are a couple of possibly related bugs dealing with autocompletion, but as far as I can tell, it was never intended to disable this filling in of the default domain:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244522

Was this change intentional?  If it was, can it be restored, perhaps by changing a preference setting?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open compose window
2. Starting typing a name not in any address book (e.g. xyzzy)
3.

Actual Results:  
xyzzy is displayed red

Expected Results:  
[e-mail]  is displayed

Looks like this must have been a deliberate change.   A user pointed me to the prerence setting: mail.identify.default.autocompleteToMyDomain  

Changing the default value of false to "true" restored the desired behavior
