Description Michel Alexandre Salim 2003-11-01 12:28:53 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:
Up to the latest stable Evo release, contacts that are dragged into a
contact list could be edited without the change being reflected in the
contact list. This makes the contact list feature rather useless as it is
hard to maintain; I personally end up creating folders, selecting all its
members then 'Send Message to Contact' instead.

I debated with myself whether to file this as a wishlist item or a bug, but
really, a contact list should behave better (see Apple's Mail.app). Perhaps
make it differentiate between typed address and links to contact objects?

I'll be realistic and would expect nothing more than a revamped Contact
management system when 2.0 comes out though. Is this fixed in HEAD already?

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Drag a contact into a contact list
2. Edit the contact's e-mail address
3. Send message to contact list

Actual Results:
Message sent to old address

Expected Results:
Message sent to new address

How often does this happen? 
Always

This is a duplicate report, however I'll use it for tracking requests.
Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2004-01-05 14:22:21 UTC
It may not be possible to do this for 2.0 but we should at least
review it.

Retargeting 1.5.3->1.5.4 bug reports. Sorry for the spam.
