"Collected Addresses" in Address Book

[Bill Spikowski]

My 'collected addresses' folder in Address Book is constantly filled to the 
brim.

Some of these addresses I'd like to add to my personal address book, but most 
are unwanted or are duplicates or are formatted in some odd way.

I used to move all of them to my personal address book, and then modify/delete 
there -- but often I end up with two listings, with no way of knowing which is 
a trusty reliable email address and which may be a dubious 'collected' address.

Is there any way to have TWO "Address Book" windows open at the same time? That 
way I could compare the existing and collected addresses before keeping or rejecting any 
entries.

Or is there an extension that would work like 'duplicate bookmarks' extensions 
and help me untangle duplicate address entries?

Why would you need the program to be "read only"??

You still don't understand what is happening. I want a particular email address,
period. No angle brackets, no quotes, nothing but the single string required for
the SMTP, POP and/or IMAP servers to get it to the appropriate destination. Once
I get the email address I want, autocomplete finds a match from addresses
collected from Yahoo with all Yahoo's own anti-spam email list "From" field
munging, obliterating what I type. I edit the junk away, and autocomplete puts
it right back.

First below (01) as sent:

All as received:

When I try to reply to the received copy of what I originally sent, I get this
at the head of the compose port:

Felix Miata mrma...@earthlink.net [eComStation] composed on 2017-05-15 21:17
(UTC-0400):

which is not what was originally sent, due to Yahoo's "From" munging.

It *is* wrong if it isn't what I put there intending it to stay there. It *is*
wrong to usurp what I type or paste there. I don't ever use auto-correct. I
don't need correction. If I don't make a selection from among the auto-complete
offerings, it shouldn't be forcing one.

OK, then I guess I didn't understand the problem.



If you reply to a mailing list post, why do you need to change the
address? Doesn't it go where you want it to?


The address gets collected from the mailing list, then at some much
later time shows up via autocomplete in a brand new composition
totally unrelated to the mailing list, because of a substring from
the collected address.


Then don't accept the autocompletion by stopping typing. Keep typing the 
desired name or address and ignore SM's suggestions; eventually you'll 
get to the point where your typing doesn't match the undesired address 
and SM will accept what you're typing.


For example, if you start typing "df" it will match 
, but if you continue with "dfa" it won't 
match anymore and you can get on with your life.



In my experience, once SM autocompletes an address, I can edit it
without difficulty and it leaves my edits alone. But why bother?
What difference will it make in this scenario?


It leaves it alone if I keep this autocompletion:

someinsanelylongn...@toolong.net 

or substitute

siln 

or similar, with or without use of quotes, but it overwrites with the
original autocomplete if I try to keep

someinsanelylongn...@toolong.net


OK, once again I don't see why you're going to all this trouble to fix 
something that isn't wrong. If that's the desired email address, why 
bother removing the name associated with it? If you really must do that, 
keep the angle brackets and SM will accept that, provided you leave the 
address field by clicking elsewhere and not by tabbing or hitting Enter:

So that it cannot be modified by anything that gets into the browser,
i.e. anything that exploits a vulnerability.

I understand perfectly what's happening. What I don't understand is why 
you care if there are or aren't angle brackets, quotation marks, or 
whatever the programs need to function. Maybe it offends your sense of 
artistic elegance, OK fine, whatever floats your boat. If it bothers you 
that much, disable autocomplete as you described at the top of the thread.



I edit the junk away, and autocomplete puts it right back.


Or if you don't want to disable autocomplete, use the strategy I offered 
yesterday:



If you really must do that, keep the angle brackets and SM will
accept that, provided you leave the address field by clicking
elsewhere and not by tabbing or hitting Enter:




That's all I got. Anyone else?

Oh -- I just remembered -- back in the days when DirecTV forced me to 
use AOHell as my provider, it wasn't even possible to use a name in the 
address field; all you could send was the naked email address. I still 
see that nowadays from AOHell users. Maybe that's what you want.
