The Address Book allows you to enter a second e-mail for a contact, but provides
no way to set either as Default. This means you can never compose a message
using the second e-mail address because it is never visible.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Address Book
2. Try to find a contacts second e-mail address so you can Write your message
3.
Actual Results:
See only first e-mail address.
Expected Results:
See whichever e-mail address you set as Default.

The summary needs to be changed to something like: "Can not compose message to
second address in AB from AB".

Updating summary to reflect the actual bug
Summary: Address Book/Contact List is flawed. → Cannot compose message to additional email address from AB

i would like to see a per-address card option like "always send mail to all of
this contact's addresses"... a global switch wouldn't be as useful i think but
could be implemented (i forsee too many cluttered inboxes if this is a global
option). i currently have to make lists for some of my multiple-email contacts
to make sure they see the things i send.

You *can* compose mail to the additional email address from the Address Book.
Simply click on the "Additional Email" link in the Card pane. WFM
What you *cannot* do is select additional email addresses from the *Contacts*
pane in the Compose window, which is what Bug 258792 is about.
So, close this one and reopen Bug 258792 ?

Nope, that one was duped to this one.

Actually I would like to use my contact bar after writing the message.
Thus a right-clik on the contact name should for exemple provide me with his different emails.
Or could something like a "browsing view" be created ? clik on the name and the available alternate emails unfold. Maybe as an extension ?

Nominating wanted-thunderbird3 to keep it on the radar, though this would probably not make TB3, but there's some work on future Address Book interactions that might improve this UI.
