Hi Allie,

I see that, but OTOH use the address auto-view a bit differently. I
keep it open constantly while reviewing mail in my virtual mail folder
... you know, the one behind the ticker ;-). Why? Because following
Leif's stroke of brilliance in setting up the rogues gallery site, I
now have entries with photos for many members of the list (as well as
for my personal contacts). This gives e-mail a staggeringly different
feel in real time. It's like a static video-phone conversation. I love
it!
This has diverted the topic a bit.
Back on topic - yes, there is a usability hole as you have described.
IMHO, a quick Ctrl-Shift-K; grab the bit you want; Ctrl-Shift-K; carry
on; does mean that an address grabbing facility isn't *missing*, just
not as easily accessible as it could be.
