Well, I found part of the answer by accident: I tried sending mail to the person by hand-typing their email. It showed up as being under an entirely different name in my address book. I deleted that entry (which had bits and bobs of other people's address book entries from Thunderbird), then I could enter the correct one. In future, if I can remember, looking up an entry by email address may work, at least to tell me where the corrupted entry is. -- Tim Wescott www.wescottdesign.com Control & Communications systems, circuit & software design.
