Description Szokovacs Robert 2004-03-12 01:00:05 UTC

Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

Among several other languages, the hungarian has the names "backward" compared to the other languages: my name is "Szokovacs Robert", where Robert is my given name. So when I start typing a name into the to: field, I start with the family name, but the lookup doesn't include the formatted name, neither the family name, so it's not working. 
Kaddressbook has a field for nickname, it would be logical to do a lookup for nicks too for name autocomplete.
The other thing is how the kmail generates the name included in the email address: its alway "givenname familyname <name@domain>", it should be "formattedname <name@domain>", thats what formatted name is for, I guess.
Also it would be nice if kaddressbook would include the "backward" name order for the predefinec options for given name.

- The nickname will be automatically replaced when the message is sent.
- Checking for the last name is bug 76739.
- Formatted names in the form "Lastname Firstname" has already been added to KAddressBook.

So I'll change this report into a wish for including the nicknames in the address lookup.

Comment 2 Szokovacs Robert 2004-03-12 17:35:16 UTC

It seems true that the nick gets replaced, but the user don't get any feedback. I would suggest to replace it immediately, as it was in the older kmail for distribution lists. And this is independent of the address lookup. Btw, it would be nice to bring back that behaviour to distribution lists also.

in the contacts view of kontact searching for contacts by nickname works.
i'd love to see this feature in the "new message dialog" of future kmail releases ;-)
