      Description

      Step 1 of sending a mailing in CiviMail has a single field to enter called "Mailing Name". In my Firefox browser, AutoComplete suggestions for the input field include a variety of contact names and other poor choices for a Mailing Name.

      I believe this is because the source code for the input field assigns the input box properties (id and/or name) generically as "name" in the following HTML snippet:
      <input maxlength="128" size="45" name="name" type="text" id="name" class="form-text huge required" />
      This then matches with other unrelated input boxes also called name.

      My suggestion would be to replace the "name" property values to something more specific like "mailing_name"
