58772 - drag address between AB's should move, not copy entry

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56821

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Tim Taylor]

Current Behavior:

    Dragging address between Adress Books creates a duplicate entry

Expected Behavior:

    Dragging address from AB1 to AB2 adds entry to AB2 and removes it from AB1

When would I ever want to have the same address in multiple address books?  I
can imagine all my entries in my PAB, then creating a Friends & Family AB which
only has addresses of friends and family.  But then, what I'd really want is to
have aliases pointing to a single entry...but that'd be another enhancement, so
I'll stop :)

Confirming.  This is a really strange behavior and I see it on linux trunk
2000110908.

It seems that addressbook should handle drag the same way mail handles drag
between folders.  That is dragging should move, while option-drag, or whatever
the platform standard is, should copy.
