Heh - I've been using "it" since even before then, back when some of
were working on a great idea called PowerTalk. Had some "underpinnings"
problems in the system ("System 7 Pro") but lots of good concepts. And a
few horrible ones.
The thing with address-pop-up doesn't happen for me as I've never
integrated PM's address book and the Apple Address Book.
[ouch - that was nasty. Fortunately I'd saved this as draft. I tried
some of Barbara's suggestions and PM crashed hard. Blew the sort indices
and all. I haven't seen *that* in a while. I noticed the venerable
"WaitNextEvent" in the trace -- I had thought that it had gone away with
the conversion to Xcode]
... now, where were we? I use only the built-in PM address book, so
there is no address-completion, at least as far as I have been able to
find [no - I'm not about to try it *again* right now]
If you are using the Apple Address Book then maybe there are
possibilities to edit that, as Barbara suggests. I have noticed in Apple
Mail, which I use for one account, that it has some very old addresses
stored somewhere. I need to look there further.
Cheers.....Peter
