433539 - can't keep email address in address book without name, it keeps coming back

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Noah Levitt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080418 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.14 (20080502)

Jira sends email from the same address, but fills in the name of the person who commented on the bug. E.g.

Noah Levitt <[e-mail]>
Alice McPerson <[e-mail]>

I want to keep "[e-mail]" in my address book without any name attached. But every time I delete the name, then get another email from jira, that name gets stuck in the address book. And when I send mail to that address, it insists on filling in the name.

I'm sure this comes up in other cases besides jira, too.

Reproducible: Always

Noah, is this in your collected address book? do you still see this?  ISTR that collected address book matched on both name and address to determine if the address should be added to CAB
