Harry:
I would like to see Mail and the address book work exactly the same
way it worked in Panther.
Yes, in Tiger I can start typing the recipients name in the bcc
panel. And yes the name will be completed. That's fine.
I can also drag and drop a name from my address book into the bcc
panel and that will work fine. Drag and drop works but it is
significantly slower than the method offered in Panther. And yes, I
use the bcc option a lot!
If I put the cursor in the "To" panel, mouse click and then open
address book, select a name, and mouse click again then that name
appears in the "To" panel. As it should.
But, in Panther I could place my cursor into the Bcc panel and do a
mouse click. Then I could open my address book and mouse click on a
name and that name would appear in the bcc panel. Simple. I could
select one name or several and they would all zip right into the bcc
panel.
It appears that I have lost that ability in Tiger (using 10.4.2 on a
G4 iBook).
Here's what happens in Tiger: Place cursor in bcc panel. Mouse
click. Open address book. Select name. Mouse click and voila the
name appears in the "To" panel NOT the "bcc" panel.
Hence the quirk or bug.
Three options available in Panther to get a name into the bcc panel.
Two options in Tiger to get a name into the bcc panel.
Yeah, I can still use the bcc function but it's not as elegant and/or
as simple as it was in Panther.

The choice is there, just not in Address Book. Do you see that little
box to the left of "Account"? It's a popup list that includes bcc as
well as Reply-to. Or, you can type Command-Option-B to toggle the bcc
field. Then start typing names and they will be completed, or drag to
the desired field.
How would you like to see it work?
Regards,
Harry Corsover
