Mail 4.5 Quirk(s) - Now unable to drag email address to Search

Question

I've been going through printer issues since updating to Snow Leopard, and am just now getting a chance to address other issues.  This one is driving me nuts and didn't seem to find anyone else posting about it (or just didn't get the right search terms!).  But when I have an email up, and I try to drag the sender's email address up to the Search window in Mail (to look for other emails from the same address), since the update to SL am no longer able to do that.  It will not drop into the Search window.
Another quirk that I'm having, less frustrating but it's there nonetheless is that when I've tried to copy and paste an email address into the Search window, I no longer get just the email address.  I mean, you have in many/most email addresses the person's name and then the actual email address inside of the brackets -- and when you click on the email address and then select Copy Address and then paste into the Search window, now I get the stuff outside the brackets as well.  And Mail will not properly search the email address until I manually delete the brackets and the extra name info, leaving just the email address itself.
I'm not the only one seeing these quirks am I???

Answer 1

I went to the local Apple store earlier this week and asked on of the folks at the Genius Bar if he knew how to set the outgoing mail address. He showed me that I could enable the "reply to" field and then put my mail forwarding address into that field. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to pre-populate that field so that it always has my mail forwarding account address.
