Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Yet another wishlist item for evolution!
When I write an email, evolution replaces the email address with the name from my contacts list if it can be found.
This is undesirable for several reasons:
1. some people have multiple email addresses, and I would like to know which one I'm currently writing to.
2. my contact list isn't too well maintained (imported some, and some are snarfed from outgoing mail, I think), and several contacts have no associated name. Evolution happily replaces the email I typed with a space and a comma - not helpful.

Thank you for your bug, the alias is just displayed locally not used to send the mail and you can know what email is used by right clicking on the contact. Closing the request that's an upstream decision we will not change it in a distribution specific way
