Add the first name to the list and then hit return. The entire dialog goes away and you've only added one name. Isn't this the main way to get to the next entry???? I discovered that by clicking on the entry the next blank entry field shows up, then I can click on that to create the whole list. This isn't a workaround for beta2 even, the average user would never discover it.
Address List feature is unusable without this fix. Marking nsbeta2.

Hit <CR> to close dialog is a default dialog behavior. I have tried to catch it but failed. Need toolkit team to advise on how to block the <CR> in a dialog. You need to use TAB key to add the next entry for now.
Found the fix, use onkeypress to block the <CR> and set a global variable to prevent window close in the close routine (doSetOKCancel).

Fix checked in. Now you can use <CR> in the mail list widget to go to the next entry. Tab won't create the new entry.
