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
<[email protected]>, 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:
[email protected] <[email protected]>
or substitute
siln <[email protected]>
or similar, with or without use of quotes, but it overwrites with the
original autocomplete if I try to keep
[email protected]
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:
<[email protected]>
