You don't have to do it each time. You just have to do it when you get spam that for some reason makes an address show up in your like you're describing. As far as I know, deleting the email (emptying the trash) does not get rid of it fully until a compact is done. So it's likely whatever PM uses to build this email address history is still seeing it, and that could very well be a bug. (I've never seen it, but I don't use Apple's Address Book for PM because there are people in PM I don't want in my main address book. They smell bad. Or something. :) ) If you've already compacted and it's still showing up, then I can only think either you really have found a bug, the spammer is particularly evil, or I'm wrong about how the history is built. Whatever the case, Jerome's idea for a fix would handle it since your PM would not be building a history anymore using things outside of the address book. So, maybe we'll see it in the next update. By the way, considering your dissertation on the great lengths you go to managing your email by hand, it seems odd to me that compacting is "extreme measures" to you, but, hey, whatever floats your boat. :) -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com
