Deleting address history

2013-03-15 Thread Tony Hoare
Hello Tbudl,

How can I delete addresses offered on the address drop down when
addressing a new email? According to TBUDL archove, I should simply
select the address and hit the Delete key. This doesn't work for me.

Another post said to delete it on the Addresses Tab. The offending
address is not there to be deleted.

There is also strange behaviour of the address list drop down: 
* The list appears to be in random order
* TB picks and highlight a random entry each time
* Sometime and entry is copied into the address without highlighting.

How is it meant to work?

Talking to myself ...

After much messing around, it seems that you *can* delete history this
way BUT the addresses that appear in the drop down are in fact from
the address book - which can't be deleted. You need to hit the double 
down arrow to get the history.

TB does not honour the Add Items to the Instant Address Popup
setting in the Group Properties. Therefore, all address book addresses
appear in the drop down.

What's more, if the address is a member of multiple address book groups, then it
will appear multiple times - each time rendered slightly differently. 
E.g. 
David
'David'
'David...'

A single address appearing multiple times makes sense because each
group can have its own templets, character set, etc. but there is no
indication which address come from which group.

Finally, the address that TB decides to put into the To: seems to be
a total mystery.
