           Summary: counter productive consistency check in kaddressbook
                    mail address text field
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rfkd at fietze-home.de
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

When adding a new contact using the kaddressbook dialog, or just when adding a
mail address to an existing contact, the early consistency check inside the
EMail text field is counter productive.

Very many people's mail addresses are firstname.lastname at doman.tld, so almost
every lazy, but smart user will do this: copy & paste the person's full name to
the EMail text field, at least she/he will try to do that, then replace the
space by a dot and append the domain.

This worked fine for years, but now it doesn't any more. When you try that the
first time after updating to a recent KDE version you won't be able to find out
why pasting doesn't work, and search somewhere else.
