There should be no expectation that clicking on Addressbook will  
eventually insert an address into the current compose message.  It's  
just there as a shortcut to the addressbook.

If you want to enter an e-mail address, use the autocomplete feature instead.

if this is still confusing, then we should hide the Addressbook button  
if replying/forwarding to a message.

The jquery mobile UI is too limited to allow complicated addressbook  
lookups on small screens (maybe you could design a system to work with  
a tablet form factor, but that is a different issue...).
