Add to Contacts is broken

When clicking on "Add to Contacts" the first and last names are reversed in
the respective place in the contact "form".. When retrieved for an email
the names are first - last. They are saved backwards too.

I *really*, *really*, miss the way the address book worked and looked in
Outlook Express. Why did MS *crew with it? It wasn't broken.

Years ago I was confronted with the "problem" of having two people in my
address book with the same name: Robert Johnson. Has anyone here had the
same problem and how did you solve it so there is NEVER the chance an email
would go to the wrong person?

I can reproduce that IF the contact list is set to sort on Last name.
If I set it to sort on First name (which is what I normally do), it
works properly.

As for the issue of sending to the wrong person, that will always be a
problem because it's up to the user to decide who the right person is.

Get in the habit of using the Check Names button
or equivalently press Ctrl-k and ensure that all names
are underlined. If any name in the To: list is not underlined
you haven't entered it unambiguously enough.
