Copying and Pasting E-Mail addresses from Mail To, From, CC Fields

In previous versions of Mail, you could copy an e-mail address from the To, From, or CC fields and past it into a document. In Mail 4.0 (mad 4.1), when you do this, the address shows up just as it appears in the field from which it was copied.
Here's an example. First, the address as it appears in the From field:
(1) John Smith <[email protected]>
Earlier versions of Mail would allow you to select this address, copy it and paste it as
(2) [email protected]
Now, however, you get the whole thing as in (1), a real nuisance if all you want is the e-mail address itself. Two questions. First, rhetorically, why would anyone want to make this change? Second, is there any way to persuade Mail to revert to its earlier behavior?

  • I send them to 50-200 people. Can I copy and paste their email addresses from a previously sent message?

    l

    Hi Sara,
    Thanks but that is not what i need. In my scenario i literally just need to copy all 200 email addresses from a previously sent file and paste them into the box saying "enter recipient email addresses" so that i can send the exact same people a new file. Without this feature this program is virtually useless to me now. Typing them in one at a time or choosing them one at a time from a list is not an option - i will only do this when i send out the first round of files and then i should be able to copy and past the email addresses to send out any added files that every person on the list will need. I just need to select, copy, paste, done. Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.

    Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
    You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine.  You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
    That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
    You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
    You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

  • If I copy and paste a web address, it does not become an underlined link..How to fix?

    I sell items on ebay. When I copy and paste a web address it does not become an underlined CLICK ABLE LINK.
    It does in automatically in Internet Explorer. I prefer using Firefox.
    How can I fix this ???
    Ron
    PS The same thing happens if I try to email a link to someone.

    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />

  • Copy-and-paste into Snow Leopard's Mail from Parallels 5.0 doesn't work

    After upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard, my Parallels 3.0 application no longer worked. Since I had an invitation to beta test Parallels 5.0, I took advantage of that opportunity.
    Since then, there has been a problem "copy-and-pasting" from an Internet Explorer window into an Apple Mail document. Parallels has a new feature that copies text with formatting. What ends up getting pasted into Mail is the text plus about 6 inches of blank space below it. It seems like the text is married to a large graphic element.
    Further hints: There's a black "X" in the circle at the upper left of it, and the text+blank_space block has its own vertical and horizontal scroll bars within the Mail document window.
    If anyone can suggest a solution, I would be very grateful. If I can send a screen shot of what I'm describing.

    OK, then since this isn't related to the OP's issue, I'd suggest you start a new topic in the Quicktime for Mac forum (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
    Regards.

  • How do I display, copy, and paste a web address from an open Safari window please?

    I'm new to Mac and Safari. 
    I'm used to being able to just cut and paste a web address from a page I'm on into a discussion, but I don't see an address bar to copy from.
    I'm sure it is there somewhere, which toolbar or keyboard shortcut am I missing, please?
    Gordon_M

    Hello:
    While Safari is open, go to the menu bar>view.  Select "customize toolbar."  You may use the default, or customize it to yoru liking.
    Then when you wish to copy an address, you simply click on the favicon and go to edit>copy.

  • Why won't Mac Mail let you copy and paste a email address?

    I have mail 5.2 and was just wondering why doesn't it let you paste using the track pad to paste e-mail address into the field for To and Cc for, when i click on the track pad like you would normally do it doesn't come up with anything? It lets you paste only into the subject line and nothing else, using cmd v however works. Is this like it for everyone's mail? Or does mine have a problem? Thank you.

    Pressed "Rebuild" and nothing happened.
    Did you have that account highlighted?
    Well, don't know much about Mail in 10.7, but here's my 10.4/10.5 notes...
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • How to copy and paste the solution files of SharePoint 2010 from one machine to another machine?

    Hi,
    I was working with SharePoint 2010  in one of my Virtual machines.Now that the lease for my Virtual Machine is going to expire, I want to shift the entire contents of the project to another machine (local) with SharePoint 2010. Also, I want the pages
    in the other machine to be editable. 
    How can I copy the solution files to the other machine? And I want the exact path where the files are located, so that I can shift them to the other machine.
    Thanks in advance. 

    ...that's not a good approach.
    Deploying customisations can be as simple as files being copied onto the file system. Most of the time however there is a lot more happening behind the scenes and simply copying the files won't work.
    Also that is assuming that you mean solutions rather than the pages themselves (or the contents of document libraries) in which case you want to copy databases, not just files.
    SharePoint isn't a simple thing to move, you may need to look at this a bit harder.

    I want to retrieve On iTunes consisted 

    I don't know what you are asking, but judging by the page that you posted from then I assume that you are having problems with an iTunes gift card. If you are then was the card issued in the same country as your account is based ? They are only valid in their country of issue. If it was and the page that you posted from doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes support (you will need to give them as much of the serial number and activation code from the card as you can read) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

    Hi joao,
    If you have your PDF open in Adobe Reader, it's easy to select the text and copy it. Just drag to select the text that you want to copy and then choose Copy from the Edit menu. If you can't select the text, it may be that your resume PDF was created from a scanned document.
    If I misunderstood your question, please let me know.
    Best,

  • How can i copy and paste the list paragraph?

    I uses the 'Pages' and have a problem to copy text to 'Mail' application from 'Pages'
    The text with list like '1. blarblar' can't copy to other application with list format.

  • Copy and Paste not working

    I have Captivate 6.0.1.240. 
    I am having a problem with Copy and Paste.  When I copy an element on one screen and try to paste it, you can see the quick messages that an activity is taking place, but the element doesn’t actually get pasted.  This used to work fine and just stopped working. 
    I have tried:
    Restarting Captivate
    Restarting the entire laptop
    Clearing the cache
    Renaming the Captivate folder in Users (suggested by a Captivate Blog)
    In addition, another intermittent problem is that text in a caption window will disappear when I click out of the field.
    Ordinarily, these kinds of problems are memory problems, but I have a late model Dell with 16 Gig of RAM, and in any case, restarting isn’t helping.  I have searched the Internet for this issue and a few people reported similar problems, but not many.  No real solutions.
    I can't get version 6.0.1.319 because I bought Captivate from Adobe as a product, not a subscription, but I don't know if that is the fix.  Copy and Paste worked fine for months, then stopped working.
    Thank you for your time,
    Alan

    Hi there,
    Are you copying and pasting the items in the same project (from one slide to another) or are you copying something out of Captivate and then pasting it in there?
    Does the pasted item show up in timeline?
    Try running Adobe Captivate as administrator if it is Win 7 or later (Right click on Captivate icon, then run as admin).
    Thanks.

  • How to use copy and paste

    how can i use the copy and paste thing in Nokia E71?

    Taken from page 28 of the E71 user guide:
    "To copy text, press and hold the shift key, and scroll to highlight the word, phrase, or line of text you want to copy. Press the function key + chr + c. To insert the text into a document, move to the correct place and press the function key + chr + v."
    Not all text can be highlighted for copying, for example the text from web pages.
