            Bug ID: 345494
           Summary: Contacts from your data can be cluttered with
                    erroneous and synthetic email addresses.
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.1
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: diane at ghic.org

The selection of addresses provided by "Contacts from your data", which I
believe is provided by baloo, can become very cluttered with:

* emails sent by services like google docs which generate addgresses like "User
Name (Google Docs)" <verylongstring....>
* mistyped addresses e.g. you work at a school and the addresses should be
user at example.edu, but someone accidentally sent an email to user at example.com
* I also have excess "'address'" <address> showing up, but that was fixed in
Bug 336163.

Perhaps one solution would be to have a better sort order:
  Prefer addresses found in ones contacts first,
  Then addresses you send to (Perhaps weighted by use with a decay by age)
  Then addresses you receive from (also weighted by use)
  Then addresses included on To's and CC's sent by other people. 

Also with the From addresses its also fairly common for spammers to send mail
from "Someone You Know" <some totally unrelated address>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(start typing contact name)

Actual Results:  
for some contacts, when one has a lot of email, the result is very long and not
well ordered

Expected Results:  
it would be nice to have a list that was sorted in a way more relevant to me,
and that includes less spam and errors.)
