A bug (id: 447927) was fixed that allows users to find additional mail addresses within the address book. Now it seems that the additional email address will always be used before the primary mail address. This is most annoying as the primary mail address is the one most people will use. It has caused me a lot of grief as this functionality was different from previous versions: a lot of mail has already be send to private mail addresses of colleagues. For this reason I'm keeping this bug at the normal severity level (security issue).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create contact card with 2 mail addresses
2. Type first name of contact
3. 
Actual Results:  
Secondary (additional) mail address will appear instead of primary one.

Expected Results:  
Primary mail address should appear
