Every time I read a message or send a message from the same email address, I'm
getting an extra entry in my CAB. For instance right now I have 25 entries for
Scott Putterman and another 10 entries for sspitzer@netscape.com.
It looks like when we add an entry we are no longer catching the fact that we
already have it and we end up with duplicates.

I can't duplicate this problem on demand, although I do see duplicate entries in
my address book. Do you have any details on getting the problem to occur?

ok, I know what's going on.
the problem is with cards with any capital letters.
say you get email from SethSpitzer@foo.com, and you collect it.
each time you get one from that address, it will add a duplicate.
there is a bug in the addressbook code that makes it so when you search based on
email, we must be doing something wrong with case sensitivity.
I think there might be an existing bug on this same problem, but it wasn't CAB
related.

nsbeta1- per ADT triage, ->1.2, blocks 'miracle bug' 122274

reeling back in, this might relate to some other nsbeta1+ bugs, like #62084

I think cavin has relatively simple patch for this (and bug #128535)
his patch will leave us with a different bug, but I'd argue it's better than it
is now.
cavin's patch will make it so we never do case insensitive searches. the down
side is you could still end up with duplicates in the CAB, but only when you
receive emails that don't match.
sspitzer@netscape.com, Ssspitzer@netscape.com might be in there, but
Sspitzer@netscape.com will only be in there once, no matter how many times you
receive mail from me.
I think we can easily fix this at the same time cavin fixes 128535
re-assign to cavin
back to nsbeta1 for re-evaluation given its relationship to 128535

Marking fixed as patch to bug 128535 does fix it. See Comment #8 for more details.
