450875 - can't send e-mail to single-word-named address-book lists -- 2-word name works

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Eric Rosenbloom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.16 (20080707)

Sending an e-mail message to an address-book list in the To, CC, or most importantly the BCC field usually fails.

A small list I have works fine. The small list has a 2-word name ("NWW board"). The failing lists have 1-word names ("VWV"). After changing their names to 2 words ("VWV list"), sending e-mail to the list works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose e-mail.
2. Enter list name in BCC field.
3. Send.
Actual Results:  
Fails. Unless list name is more than 1 word.

Expected Results:  
Sends.

I was unable to reproduce with Linux 2.0.0.20pre (20090103).

You said that it failed... how did it fail?

The message was not sent. As I recall, it said that the list name was not a valid e-mail address.

However, I just tried recreating the problem by creating a new one-word list name (BBB) and it worked fine. I'm now on 2.0.0.21, so perhaps a later version of Thunderbird took care of it inadvertently.

An error like the one in bug 451118?

RESO INCO per lack of response to last question. If you feel this change was made in error, please respond to this bug with your reasons why.

This is not reproducible in latest version of Firefox 3.6

Thanks
