No. Add them to your Address Book and then they will be permanent members of the drop-down list that appears when you type a few characters, which is what should really be concerning you. > Can I permanently prevent an address from being added to the MRU? Yes. Add it to your Address Book and assign it Junk category. > Is there any additional information available on the MRU other than what is > posted at the above webpage? No. People obsess too much about the MRU. Just give it a bit of time and it settles down to contain mostly regular correspondents. Naturally there are always a few spots (don't know how many) for recent correspondents who you don't really want. In a short time, if they don't write you and you don't write them, they will disappear, to be replaced by others. Get used to typing 4 or more characters (6 is good) and looking at the screen before pressing Return. To repeat, the best thing you can do is to add people you want to appear in the drop-down list to your Address Book. Then they will _always_ appear when you type the first few characters of a) their first name, or b) last name, or c) email address, or d) nickname (if any). _That's_ what you actually deal with - the dropdown list. The dropdown list is not the same thing as the MRU list, which is not available to you. Add desired people to the Address Book and they will always appear in the dropdown list. I believe they have priority too (higher up in the list), but I'm not 100% certain. If someone undesirable happens to have a higher listing and gets in the way, add a distinctive (no-conflicting) Nickname field to the contact and type a few characters of that instead. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
