1. I don't see how an address is added to an email by clicking on
it in Address Book. I started with this message, clicking in the To
field. Then, in Address Book, clicking on an address does nothing
except open that contact in the right-hand pane in Address Book.
Double clicking opens a separate window for that contact in Address
Book. Is this a matter of settings or preferences? I'm using Mail
2.0.2 and Address Book 4.0.2. So, since it has never worked for me
that way for any Mail field, I apparently misunderstood the question.
What I understood is that by clicking on the Address Book button
on the tool bar of a new message or reply gets you access to Address
Book listings and clicking on the listing gets that name and address
in the proper field. Address book application is not opened.
2. Why use the Address Book in the first place? If you know the
name of a person you want to send an email to, just start typing.
If that person has more than one email address, a list will pop
down; same thing for different recipients whose names begin with
the same characters.
I would find it more convenient to use the click method because
I wouldn't have to remember how the entry was make in address book, I
could chose which e-mail address, and other things. I might want to
choose several listings or see the list to jog my memory. It's just
a different way that minds work. For someone who used Bcc
frequently, I could see this would be a source of irritation and
inconvenience. I think this program behavior is a bug.
