How to reclassify Bug 325458?
Chris Hardie
As noted in the exchange below with Brian Lu, this bug, "Bug 325458 -
Nickname not highest precedence for matching," is being described by a
number of users on bugzilla and in the related "Getsatisfaction.com"
conversations as a major loss of function. As one user noted, "anything
that causes mail to get sent to the wrong user inadvertently is just
about he worst possible problem a mailer can have."
The bug entry is currently classified as an enhancement request. I'm
hoping you can point me to the right process for getting the bug
reclassified as a loss of functionality so that it can get the
appropriate attention.
Thanks for your help.

Chris,
I agree it should be reclassiefied. Since I'm still not a community
developer,
I don't know if there any process to do that.
I suggest you to send an e-mail to dev-apps-t...@lists.mozilla.org
You can get help there.
Regards
Brian

Hello Chris,
This feature never exist in Thunderbird so it treated as enhancement
request as all other bugs.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "never exist in Thunderbird."
Before upgrading to TB3, I could type in a nickname of a contact and it
would be the highest ranking match for the address that was filled in
with autocomplete. After upgrading to TB3, when I type in a nickname,
it is no longer the highest ranking match. So, I and others are now
accidentally sending messages to the wrong contacts because we're
expecting the nickname functionality to work.
I hope that helps.

That's *entirely* the wrong bug for people to be in for issues about a
v3 regression of email frequency not being honored.

I've read original reporter comment and it say's nothing about
regression. If that worked in 2.0 this bug should be closed and you need
to open new bug about changed precedence and put keyword regression in it.
