HOW DO I EDIT THE MAIL RECIPIENTS LIST?

Question

I need to edit data in the Recipients List... not delete Recipients or add to Contacts but make changes in the data. How do I do this?

That won't work for me because the names I want to change were generated by the inquiry and the response of the responder.
Example: bbthecln <[email protected]>, where I want to change bbthecln to "Bobo the Clown" for future emails AND I don't want to add this address to my Contacts but leave it in the Recipients List. If the Recipients List is any kind of document file it CAN be edited, somehow.
It would be nice if you would explain SQL and what SQLite3 is and how I can use it.
It is a “document” file, and it can be edited. But as the document type is a SQLite database, you must know the Data Manipulation Language subset of the Structured Query Language in order to modify it.
The pseudo-code to modify the data would be:
UPDATE PreviousRecipientsTable
SET display_name to <new display name>
WHERE display_name = <old display name>
You would need to enter the appropriate DML code in SQLite3 to modify the data stored in the Previous Recipients database.
