From: George on 27 Feb 2010 09:28 I'm using Apple Mail in Snow Leopard. Let's say you get an email from someone and want to copy the email address. Apple makes it easy...as you hover around the email address, an indicator that a popup menu is available appears, and one of the items in the menu is COPY ADDRESS. BUT..when you copy that address, you are NOT just copying the address, but also the bracketed name of the person or organization. So, the result of the copy might be... John Smith <johnsmith(a)acme.com> I would like the result of the copy to be JUST the "johnsmith(a)acme.com" part without the name and the lessthan and greaterthan symbols. Possible?

I hear you. I always have to edit it after pasting it where ever it's going. Rog --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

Maybe just a question of my curiosity, as I am usually going the other way: I want to see the names of folk, but they are more like: Susie Que <tomatoes(a)millions.com> than a repeat in the name as Mr. Smith above. So why suppress the proper name? -- john mcwilliams

I wonder why you are pasting someone else's email address in a web form? -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF |
