Version: 1.0.1
Synopsis: Unclera which e-mail address is selected when multiple entries with same name are in addressbook
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
Description of Problem:

In my Evolution addressbook I have at least one person with several
different e-mail addresses.  Which e-mail address is used depends on the
subject matter of our communication.

Unfortunately, it's relatively difficult to determine which e-mail
address was selected if I type in this person's name and then click on
one of her addresses.  I *think* I clicked on the right one, but
Evolution gives no way of determining that for sure until you've already
sent your message.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Have two or three different e-mail addresses under the same name in
your addressbook
2. Compose a message to this person by typing in their name.  Select the
correct address with your mouse.
3. See that you can't verify that the correct one was chosen.

Actual Results:

Unable to verify that correct address was chosen until after e-mail is
already sent

Expected Results:

Should be able to verify that correct address was chosen before e-mail
is sent

How often does this happen? 

Every time

Comment 2 André Klapper 2004-04-15 18:47:47 UTC
as discussed on irc: 18720 is a subset of features of bug 229384, 
therefore marking this as a dup.
