Lets say you have two addressbooks: Personal Address Book and Work and lets assume that "automatically add addresses to Personal Address Book" is checked.
Then if you have a card "Joe Bloggs <joe@example.com>" in Work, and send an email to Joe, the auto-add feature generates a second card for Joe in Personal Address Book.
This is wrong - the auto-add feature shouldn't be generating cards for addresses that have been auto-completed because it:
- serves no purpose
==> there is already a card for Joe in an addressbook
- undermines the users' decision to partition their cards by addressbook
==> Joe belongs in Work, not Personal Address Book
- creates a maintenance problem
==> where to update Joe? Work? Personal Address Book?
