I don't like this behaviour. Svn-trunk version supports many email addresses per contact. So, it should be fixed this way.
As a counterpoint. In our experience, squirrelmail users use the multiple contacts feature of SM more like RC groups. Not multiple addresses for 1 contact, but multiple contacts under 1 entry that all need to be emailed when composing a mail.

Yes, this is why I made the modification. Multiple email addresses per contact in squirrelmail are intended for emailing multiple people at once, not for multiple addresses for one person (who you only email once). When you click on a contact with multiple addresses configured in squirrelmail, it will add every address to the To: line, rather than just one selected address. A significant number of faculty members here use Squirrelmail contacts to track their class lists.
If these contacts are imported in to Roundcube as multiple emails for one person, this functionality would be broken - roundcube and squirrelmail handle contacts with multiple addresses very differently, and importing one multi-contact to one contact (as is currently in SVN) does not make sense for users.
