from dedupe notes:
Most recent email address becomes primary email address, former email address is moved to “Other”
Eileen ran into this when testing and thought this could be made automatic.

@SHust I just pushed out a patch that should ensure that when you merge contacts with different emails in the deduper the more recent donor's email should wind up as primary an the other should be retained
- for addresses and phones we keep the most recent donors and potentially overwrite the value from the other donor - this is per past requests but could be the same as the email behaviour if preferred

@Eileenmcnaughton Thank you, this is great and will help us tremendously! I can confirm that currently, all mailing addresses when available, are being saved after the merge when we use the Deduper interface, here's a CID if you want to check it out 8674286.
