+1 to all of comment 21 and the underlying understanding of nicks as 1 on 1 aliases. However, focus in this bug is on giving resolved (single) nicks precedence in autocomplete results. So resolving multiple comma- separated nicks is probably beyond the scope of this bug. More reminiscent of (but perhaps not the same as) bug 295428. I'd recommend filing a separate bug for resolving a comma-separated list of nicknames. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956618 Title: Nickname not over-riding names in email address To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/956618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
