[Jan Carpenter]

I sent an email to my friend, and got responses from him and from another 
person.

Here is the email with headers that I sent (copied from my sent box - I've 
starred out part of his email address for his privacy, his address is not at 
netscape):

Who sings "Pretty Girl"?

========================

And here is a response I got from Deep Singh at Netscape who received my email 
even though he is not on the address list:

===========

I've been trying to recreate this incident, but as yet haven't been able to.

My best guess is that this is a security bug, so please reassign it if it isn't. 
 Thanks!

From what ckritzer told me, it sounds like typing 'deep' in the To field
autocompleted to [e-mail] even though Jan has 'deep' as an entry in her
address book. Reassigning to Address Book.

Comment 2

[Jan Carpenter]

But I didn't have "deep" in my addressbook at the time.  And [e-mail]
wasn't on the email that was sent...

Is it possible that this was a fluke problem with the mail system, and not a bug
of the browser?

Comment 3

[Mitchell Stoltz (not reading bugmail)]

Yes, I think that's entirely possible. If it doesn't happen again then I'm
inclined to call it a fluke of the mail server.

reassigning to racham.

Ninoschka,

Can you try with couple of entries in your address book ?

I think this is a WORKSFORME case.
