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.
You still don't understand what is happening. I want a particular
email address, period. No angle brackets, no quotes, nothing but ...
I understand perfectly what's happening. What I don't understand is why
you care if there are or aren't angle brackets, quotation marks, or
whatever the programs need to function. Maybe it offends your sense of
artistic elegance, OK fine, whatever floats your boat. If it bothers you
that much, disable autocomplete as you described at the top of the thread.
I edit the junk away, and autocomplete puts it right back.
Or if you don't want to disable autocomplete, use the strategy I offered
yesterday:
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]>
That's all I got. Anyone else?
I've been wondering why Felix is storing the address in the form
<[email protected]> (note the <> at the ends!). I believe
if he saved the address as [email protected]
(note the lack of <>), it would not have the <>.
Or that's what I'm sure has happened in my Addressbook from time to
time, with the somethingelseinsanelylongname being used as the "Name"
column in the Address Book.
