Any address highlighted in this manner can then either be deleted by pressing the DEL key or PARKed by pressing the space bar. I partially confirm both your suggestion and Robin Anson's observation. Following your first post I tried typing in the To: line, arrowed to the entry I didn't want, and pressed Del. As I said, nothing happened, or at least, appeared to happen; the address stayed put. I've just tried your doctrine set out above and clicked the chevron. Lo, the offending address is *not* in the chevron drop-down list, only the one I wanted, presumably because it was in fact deleted. But, if I create another new message and start typing in the To: field, the unwanted address is still there. I don't know if that rates as a bug, but it's a misbehaviour likely to cause errors. I'd like to see it made consistent. -- Regards, Robert Bull mailto:theb...@theluminousvoid.plus.com Using The Bat! v5.2.2 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Robert, On Thursday, October 25, 2012 you wrote: RB If I start typing a contact name in the To: field of a new message, TB RB pops up a list of matching possibilities. One of my contacts has RB changed his e-mail address. Please, how do I delete his old one from RB the pop-up list? RB I saw your message last night but couldn't reply at the time. I'm surprised no one has responded yet. If I interpret your query correctly, when the drop-down list of recently used addresses appears, use your down arrow (not the mouse) to highlight (select) the first address and then just use the arrow key to move to the address(s) you wish to delete and press the DEL key. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

Thanks, but that doesn't work for me! Nothing happens when I press Del. I'm using a laptop, but the Del key is a freestanding one, not on overlay, and I wouldn't think it was the wrong scancode? -- Regards, Robert Bull mailto:theb...@theluminousvoid.plus.com Using The Bat! v5.2.2 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Any address highlighted in this manner can then either be deleted by pressing the DEL key or PARKed by pressing the space bar. Are we running vastly different versions because I can't imagine these functions being options hidden away somewhere. I checked the archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/tbudl%40thebat.dutaint.com/) and everything I found agrees with me although I couldn't find the part about the space bar but that does work for me. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

After experimenting, I discovered that it only works if you haven't already started to enter characters in the address line. In other words, don't type something to get the drop down list, just press the chevron (as you did) to get the list.
