Research direction
Start by locating the MessageCompose implementation and reproduce the behavior on the reported Android and K-9 Mail versions. Trace how the To field renders contact names, then determine how an option to show the full address should be exposed. Done means the recipient address can be verified at a glance without losing the existing contact information.
