ESC key when composing in MSIE

[Eric Jon Rostetter]

I too was bit by the ESC key deleting my compose text while using MSIE.
Fortunately, I did find one helpful thing -- Control/Z will restore
the text deleted by ESC, at least in most versions of MSIE.

So if you accidently press ESC and all your text disappears, try
pressing Control/Z and it will probably reappear.

Better yet, use Netscape or some other browser.

But you can stop the key event from bubbling and a quick test with ie showed 
that at least most of the 'standard' key strokes can be catched this way. 

Perhaps we find some senseful key combinations that work with the major 
browsers and can introduce a feature flag in the browser class. I'll play a bit 
with it on IE/NS/MOzilla on Win/Linux and give some some more details.

Subject: bug in "expand names" on cc and bcc lines?

Hello,
If you enter a name that is relevant in a searchable addressbook and click
"Expand Names", the email address and full name are filled in.  If there are
multiple matches, it gives you a drop down of choices.  This all works great if
you are in the "To:" field.

If you enter a name that returns only one match in the "Cc" or Bcc" fields
things also work fine. The name and email address are filled in fine. 

BUT, if you enter a name that has multiple matches in the cc or bcc field and
hit expand names, it returns this in the field:
<br><b>Warning</b>:  Array to string conversion in
<b>/home/web/webmail.birddog.com/horde/imp/templates/compose/compose.inc</b> on
line <b>163</b><br>Array

Any ideas?
