Details

I have a contact in my address book, say, "Joe Sixpack <some@domain.com>". Now I want to add "some@domain.com" to my recipient list in the compose window. TB automatically replaces the entry with the full "Joe Sixpack <some@domain.com>" entry, and when I manually delete the "Joe Sixpack" part, plus the angle brackets, it still replaces the address with the full entry. I find no way to stop it from doing that, short of re-doing my address book. I want this in some cases, while in some others, I'd prefer to have the full entry.
