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.

It *is* wrong to usurp what I type or paste there. I don't ever use auto-correct. I don't need correction.
