This should be fixed by beta. It's probably already on your radar, but I'm
filing just in case it isn't. This is partially a UI bug and partially features
not being fully implemented.
If I type a name of someone who isn't in my history address book and hit send, I
get no indication that the mail message doesn't have a proper address.
For example:
1) In compose window type "Eric Krock" (assuming Erick Krock isn't in your abook)
2) Notice that after hitting return you see: "Eric Krock@netscape.com"
3) If you hit send, the email goes to eric@netscape.com and krock@netscape.com
This is very easy to miss and results in misaddressed email.
There needs to be some better indication that the email address was not found in
the abook. The minimum case would be to place the first and last names on their
own lines. Better would be to tell the user that then name was not found in the
abook (or directory), etc.

Reassign to ducarroz. I think the beta stopper is to turn:
foo bar
into
foo@defaultdomain.com
bar@defaultdomain.com
on separate lines, as chriss suggests. Further autocomplete hints (like putting
red text after "foo bar") will have to wait until autocomplete is fully implemented.

I have a fix. Now if we don't find a match, I am extracting all the potential
addresses from the search string and add to them if necessary a domain. However,
in case of several addresses, The UI we show them on the same line with a comma
separator. I am not creating new rows, we have already enough problem with the
addressing widget.
example:
John Wayne@somewhere.com --> John@<domain>, Wayne@somewhere.com
"John Wayne"@somewhere.com --> "John Wayne"@somewhere.com
John, Wayne --> John@<domain>, Wayne@<domain>
