556775 - cannot select address book group or entry into new mail properly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Penelope Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Ev]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 8.0b9

cannot specify "to", cc, bcc for and address group. If use address book and pick "write" then all entries INDIVIDUALLY placed as "to" addresses.

Major PROBLEM and NUISANCE. 
1. the address book should be able to be invoked and addresses selected  should go to the new message being worked.
2. IF that can't be done (like it works in eudora7), then AT THE VERY LEAST when the write! button is taken from the address book, ALL ADDRESSESS in the group should be painted INTO ONE "to" row to faciliate changing it globally to cc or bcc

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start new message
2. invoke address book <cntrl L>; cannot select groups or members to go to message started in step 1
3. can only start yet another new message and even worse when using a group each person is entered in separate "to" rows. .... VERY BAD

Makes product unusable


Expected Results:  
start new message
specifify on ONE ROW that it is "to" or "cc" or "bcc" etc
invoke address book
ALL SELECTIONS inserted into that ONE message address row with proper email syntax of address1.com, "fred" <address2.com>, .... etc
