Comment 7 for bug 956618

Total agreement, this is a serious *regression* from ol'good Mozilla 1.7.
And also from any decent mail client by the way: only an idiot would prefer to have all substring matches from LDAP or collected address book take precedence over the hand-crafted, ultra-short nicknames.

So currently for me Thunderbird is unusable, because of theis very nickname issue.

Since this bug was reported 8 months ago, and judged "just a feature request" by the experts, I'm going to drop Thunderbird, and avise many others to think twice before leaving mozilla.
