No user feedback when dragging a contact without an email address onto a contact list window

[Taylor Braun-Jones]

Binary package hint: evolution

When dragging a contact without an email address on to a contact list dialog, the operation fails silently. I eventually figured out that it was because my contacts where missing email addresses (a separate issue). I would have expected a use case like this: Drag three users into a contact list window ("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"). Alice has an email address and so gets added to the list. Bob and Charlie don't, so the user is presented with a dialog:

=======================================
The following contacts could not be added to the list
because they do not contain any email address:

Bob, Charlie

[Edit Contacts] [Okay]
=======================================

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
