hi

when entering a name of a receiver in the address field of a new message, thunderbird only recognizes e-mail addresses but not receivers' names (display name). this is a real hassle since many people have e-mal addresses that don't have their names in it, so i'm actually down to looking for the e-mail addresses in old e-mails manually all the time, very time-consuming! :(

glad for ideas how i could change this!

btw i have activated "autocompletion" in preferences > composition > addressing > check "local address books".

thanks!
