Bug Description

When I compose a new message, then click on the BCC button, a window opens with the names of my address books, but there are no email addresses available to select. I can go back to the main mail window, and click on the Contacts icon, and see all the addresses there. I can even Select All and Copy, then switch back to the draft email, but Paste is inactive when I try to paste the addresses in the BCC line.

When I upgraded Ubuntu to 11.10, Evolution converted from mailbox format to mbox (or vice versa). I recently deleted or marked as inactive the copy of my mailbox that was created in the conversion, but didn't seem to be used. I wonder if this is connected to my problem.

Thanks for looking into this problem for me.

I just discovered that if you type a '%' in the Search field, all the names in the Address list show up. '%' is the SQL wildcard symbol.

Is this the way the 'Bcc:' dialog window is supposed to work?
