The message bar has the 'to' identified as 'you' in (some cases).
Clicking on the * next to you, brings up a persons name but that person is not the correct one for the email address to which the email was sent!
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.In the AB enter the same email xx in a number of contact cards in different AB's
2.Download messages addressed to the xx email
3.Open the email and check the name for 'to'.
4. Note that this is arbitrary and strange as a name is just picked out by lottery and will be wrong in any event.
Actual Results:
Strange, inexplicably behavior.
Expected Results:
The 'to' should never state 'you'; as this is impossible unless you have put your own name and details into the address book.
It should always display the email address to which the message was sent
Wasting programming time and effort on trying to second guess the name from lists in one or the other address books is a complete waste of effort
