[Alpine-info] addressbook nickname bug

[Patrick J. Collins]

Hi,

I just realized something that could be classified as a bug...  I wrote an
app a few years ago that converts mac OS X addressbook contacts to pine's
.addressbook format-- and one of the features it does is take's a contact
card's company name and places it into the nickname field..

Well, I just discovered that in Alpine, if multiple contacts have the same
nickname, no matter which contact you select in the addressbook, it will always
select the first contact with that nickname.

I believe Pine had an issue similar to this, but it was fixed with a patch...
