Comment 32 for bug 711314

Sol Spitzer@Netscape is dead set against making the address list window
non-modal. In that case, the solution is to add a second pane to the modal
window that has the address book list available for dragging into the list pane.

In this way, Sol's objection (that people could go and muck things up in the
main window while the address list editor was open) and mine (that you HAVE to
see and access both the list and the address book at once) would both be satisfied.

I also feel that this is essential to the 1.0 release. People rely upon mailing
lists, and they must be createable and editable in a nice manner.
