Steps to reproduce

  1. Have a contact with the nickname different from the name.
  2. Create a new message in K9
  3. Start typing in "To"
  4. If you type the nick name and use the autocomplete/sugestion, the e-mail is in the form of "Nickname" <email@example.com>
  5. If you type the name and use the autocomplete/sugestion, the e-mail is in the form of "Firstname Lastname" <email@example.com>

Expected behavior

No matter how I find the contact, the recipient address is always in the same form "Firstname Lastname" <email@example.com>.

Actual behavior

Depending on which field of the contact was matched the name changes.

This behavior is intentional. I guess people can disagree on whether it's expected behavior. I, too, lean towards making the change and always use the display name.
