Copying format of email addresses

Dear all,
This is a very minor issue, but it's a bit annoying nonetheless. It seems that with Snow Leopard, the format that you get when copying a contact's address (for example from the "To:" field of a new email you're composing) and pasting it somewhere has changed from the raw address (i.e. "[email protected]") to the full address info (i.e. "Tim Metz <[email protected]>").
Is there any way to switch this back as I use this quite a lot and 99% of the time I need just the address and not the brackets, full name, etc.
Thanks and regards,
Tim Metz

Thanks for the answer. It's pretty strange though cause I use that a lot and I'm quite sure it wasn't like that before Snow Leopard.
And I know it's a very small thing, but I use it a lot to share contacts with people, send invitations on social networks and other online stuff, etc. and usually in those things it's best to just have the raw email address without all the extra info (the naming in my address book is not necessarily what I would like to share with other people
Anyway, very minor stuff, in dutch we call my behavior "ant f*cking"
Regards,
Tim

Is there a way to fix the change in copy and pasting email addresses?

In the past, whenever I've copied and pasted email addresses, for example, copying the email address from one email into a form field on a Web page, Address Book, or even the search field in Mail, only the email address would get pasted in. Now, since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, it seems, the name and email address is getting pasted in like this: "NYTimes.com" <[email protected]>.
It seems when pasted into the search field like this, even Mail has trouble finding other emails with the same address, which is often what I use it for. Is there a settings fix for this or am I just going crazy?
Thanks,
Bob

I found it in Mac tips
Thankfully, Apple included a hidden preference to revert to the 10.5 behavior of copying only the e-mail address. Quit Mail if it’s running, then enter this command in Terminal (in Applications -> Utilities):
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO
Restart Mail, and Copy Address will once again do just what it says, which is the preferred behavior for my use of Mail. If you try this and decided you prefer the default version, quit Mail and run this command in Terminal:
defaults delete com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard
Thanks to the fine folks at ecamm network for digging this one out and writing about it on their blog.

How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly?

How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly so that I can email a change of address?

From the Address Book help file:
Notify contacts when your vCard changes
When you change your contact information, you can send a group email message to your contacts. The message contains your updated vCard and a message from you.
1. If you don’t have a group of addresses, create one.
2. Choose File > Send Updates.
3. In the Send Updates dialog, select one or more groups to notify. If some contacts in the group have multiple email addresses, you can choose which address to use.
4. Type a subject title and a message, and then click Send.

I want to copy only the email address from Mail, not the name and email

When I get an email I want to be able to copy ONLY the email address and NOT the name.
Before I would click on an email, click on the email address and paste the email address to a list.
Now I do that and I get the name AND the email address, which makes me edit out the name every time. UGH.
Mavericks 10.9.5

did not make a difference. If I copy from the email (that has a name & email) and paste to text file (Bbedit) the name and email still show. I do not want the name, just the email.

How can I make a migration copy of my email addresses for use in another program.

It is necessary to make a migration copy of all our email addresses for transfer to windows express.
Our office overseas can not use Thunderbird & needs all our email addresses stored in Thunderbird copied for migration into their windows express program. How can this be achieved.?
I think we may also need to transfer email copies too, can this be done.?
If so, how.?
Regards Kym

Ok I have googled, I have found a windows cleaning company in Switzerland http://www.windowsexpress.org/About-Us.htmland something called Parallels Desktop for Mac with instructions for installing windows on a mac.
So I think we need to go back to the beginning with "What is Windows express?"
Email programs as a general rule do not "export" their contents into another mail clients formats. The normal procedure is to "import" the foreign format so there are some obvious questions
What formats can this mail software import?
Are your existing mail accounts IMAP or pop?
you can export email addresses from Thunderbird as CSV which almost all programs can read (including spreadsheets) From the address book select the Tools menu (Alt+ T) and select the export option

How do I copy and paste email addresses from one email to a new one?

I need to copy email addresses from one email to a new one. I can copy, but I can't paste them to the new email. Any help would be appreciated!

Highlight it and then right click, select Copy. then go to the new email you are writing and place the cursor in the TO field and right click, select Paste.

Can't copy or move email addresses when composing an email??!?!?!?!

If I am composing an email and the email address is already encased in the "blue bubble" is there any way to copy / cut / paste the text string of the email address contained within the blue bubble?
I can highlight the blue bubble email address by tapping it.... I can unhighlight it by tapping it again. Or I can backspace and delete the email address bubble. Aside from that I've tried everything and can't figure out how to copy that email address in the bubble.
Why this would be useful:
I want to easily copy/paste/move particular email recipients from the "to:" field to the "CC:" field
Or, I want to copy the email address encased in that blue bubble, and paste into my Contacts, or into a SMS text message.
Seems like a major oversight.
Help Thanks

Do you get the option to replace the "existing" one with the one you are moving? What kind of folders and what kind of photos?

Format of email address when pasted from Address Book

I am trying to send bulk emails using my Address Book. The records have been imported by via a text file where the email address appears correct. In Address Book all the email addresses are fiormatted correctly. However, when a group is imported into a 'To' field in Mail, some of the addresses are changed, like this:
John Doe <[email protected]>
instead of simply
[email protected]
Mail rejects all of the addresses which include the name and the characters.
Why are they appearing when they do not appear
a) in my database source
b) in my text file exported from the database
c) in the corresponding record card in Address Book?

Okay, I suspect you are giving the mail program a bunch of email addresses with extra commas.
Do this:
Open Address Book
Open Mail
Select New Message
with your mouse drag an email address from the Address book and drop it in the BCC line
Do that for all the addresses without manually adding commas. (Mail hides the commas when the addresses are in the Address Book. It just shows the first and last name in an oval.)
Or if this is a list you will be using a lot, in Address Book, make a new group and drag the address cards into the group and then in Mail put the group name in the BCC line.

How do I copy the full email address including the name (in the "First Last email@server.tld " format)?

Right-click menu gives me the address itself, [email protected], but I would like to get the full thing without going back and manually copying the name.

How would I do that? If I right-click on an e-mail address in firefox I have
a) copy e-mail address (which does not do what I want), b) inspect, c) inspect with firebug. Nothing about and addressbook.
And I don't want to add the address to some addressbook, I just want to paste it into another window, let's say a field in a bug report I have open.

Copying name and email address for a listserv

Is there anyway I can do a copy of an address book entry to get
JBloggs <[email protected]>?
This would be useful for adding people to listservs.
Thanks

You can create a new message in Mail, enter the contact in the To header by whatever means you prefer, then ctrl-click (or right-click) on it, choose Edit Address, then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it wherever you wish.

Why can't I copy contacts' email address from their name card in lync 2010

so here is the issue I have, when I need to copy someone's email addresses or their phone numbers, normally I will find them on lync, move the cursor on them, and their name card will show up, then I move cursor to their email address or their phone numbers,
right click it, there will be an option to "copy", right? but sometimes, right clicking doesn't work. that copy option just won't pop up, this issue happens randomly, I need to restart lync, then it will work again. Also, there is one thing
that's weird, after I restart lync, whatever I have copied in the clipboard will disappear, like if I press ctrl+c to copy something from word, then this issue happened, I restart lync, I can copy information in lync name card again, but all that
content I copied does not exist in clipboard anymore, I press ctrl+v, there is nothing coming out.
this is not a big problem, but it's really annoying, does anyone know why this issue happen and how to permanently? I tried to reinstall, does not work.
this issues happens with both lync 2010 32 bit on 32 bit win7 and lync 2010 64 bit on win7 64 bit.

Hi,
Please try to delete Lync user profile and information in registry.
The path of Lync user profile: <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator\
The path of Lync information in registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]
Please also make sure Lync client update to the latest version.

My search: HOW TO COPY FILTERS TO DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESSES. did not find solution in posted tbird answers.

i have 5 different email addresses. i have filters for 1 of my email addresses. i would like to use and/or copy those filters for all of my email addresses. the only way i have found is to create a filter for each address and then copy the filter email address from #1 to #2 then #3 then #4 then #5. it seems their has got to be a better way to do this multi step process without making the filter for each address. i know i can take the filter i built for #1 and then change it to #2, run it, change to #3, run it etc. but it still seems their should be a better way. anyone got an idea?

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

Copying email addresses from an email message

No one else seems to have this problem. I belong to a community group to which the moderator sometimes asks me to email logos and such. She says: " just use the list of names in the "To:" portion of the email I sent to you" . But I want to copy the names from there and put them into a
word file so that I have my own list of names for next time. I can copy only the email addresses and not the names with them. Even though the names are there in the email, they will not paste to my file -- only the email addresses will paste. 'Tiz is puzzlement I have Mail 3.3.

Wow! That worked and I have been trying with every one of her emails, about once a month!
Thanks so much!
