Paul B. Gallagher composed on 2017-05-21 17:41 (UTC-0400) FWIW, I've been using SM mail since Netscape 2, Netscape 4, Mozilla pre-1.0. IOW, never any other email program. And, I use it a lot, hundreds of incoming per day, mostly from mailing lists.

You can block all address collection by unchecking: > Edit | Preferences | Mail & Newsgroups | Addressing: > [ ] Add email addresses to my: [Collected Addresses] > I don't recommend that, but it's up to you. This is the root of the primary problem point of my post. Deleting from collected is pointless because that's a busy enough mailing list that it's only a matter of a short time until the bad ones get put back. I was hoping for some convenient way to override on an occasional basis, something short of opening prefs or about:config. > You can also tell SM to look/not look in your PAB when autocompleting in > the same dialog at > When addressing messages, look in: > [x] Local Address Books That's what I don't want to have to do. Autocomplete is useful, except when it refuses to accept an override. Sometimes I want an address and only a pure address, no kind of label, name or nick, and no quotes. > As for posting to mailing lists, don't write to individuals.

If you don't feed the CA list bad addresses, it won't learn the I don't use any address book for any mailing list. I'm either replying to a post, or creating a new one by right clicking the from or sender address while in a list folder on a post from that list. The only time I need to type a mailing list address is possibly the first time to a new list, but usually I use the mailto link in the welcome message for those. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
