Sorry about the late reply.

By mistake I just sent a confidential document to an entire mailing list. Normally, I do check what’s in the address field before sending, but I was in a hurry and forgot.

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

The recipient address looked like this:
"Firstname Lastname something at gmail.com [listname]" <listname at yahoogroups.com>

The email was intended for the recipient with the gmail address, but instead went to a Yahoogroup. When I addressed the email, only the first part was visible in the address field, which probably contributed to me not noticing the wrong address.

This should only happen if the window is not wide enough to display the address token. There is little I can do about that, but if this was not the problem then I'd like to know more.

As I also have a valid address to the same person – "Firstname Lastname something at gmail.com" – that pops up in the “To” field, I suppose that Mailmate somehow is trying to be helpful by picking up these kind of addresses from previous emails to this and other mailing lists.

Yes, MailMate looks for previous recipients in your Sent Messages mailbox and in your Address Book (Contacts).

Is it possible to get rid of this helpfulness?

Yes. Look for `MmAddressCompletionMailbox` [here](http://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences#sending). You would then need to point it at an empty mailbox (I cannot recall if providing a non-existing mailbox works).
