Unfortunatly (or perhaps fortunatly) I don't know of a simple way to do a screen print to show/prove exactly what I was seeing.
You should have a "Local Folders/Sent" mailbox in Evolution, which records all your outgoing email.
Look in there for the message - you will be able to see the "To:" header, which will tell you who you really sent the message to. However I think we already know that you sent it to "CLUG" with no @ or domain, hence the presumption by your ISP's SMTP server that you meant [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then try sending a new message, and watch carefully the To: bar, especially as you type an address. If you are matching the Address Book contents, you'll get a drop-down box with the suggested completions. You have to select one of these suggestions, either by cursor-down or mouse. If you do not actively select the suggested completion, it will not be used.
Other mailers have a different philosophy about completions - they fill in the field completely with the first match, and leave it to you to change if it is wrong. This is a mater of interface preference.
I never had these sort of simple problems when I was using Microsoft products.
What, never? Then I have to presume that the MS interface standards are vastly superior to all alternatives, which must be the reason that Microsoft dominate the computing world. Damn.
