If I click from the Recipients window in to the message window PowerMail
autocompletes addresses using my email address' domain. This causes me
to occasionally send emails to unintended recipients. The autocompleted
format is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For example, if I have John Adams in my address book and I type John
in the Name field of Recipients, PowerMail will pop up a list of names
from my address book which start with John. The first of these is
highlighted, implying that that address will be chosen if I do anything.
If I then click into the message window, Powermail completes the address
like this:
John[EMAIL PROTECTED]
even though I don't have anyone with that address in my address book,
and even though John Adams, which is in my address book, was highlighted.
How can I stop PowerMail from putting in a mistaken address when I click
into the message window? It also happens if I click to add another
address line . Note that this does not happen if I use tab or return to
go to the message window - only if I click into it.
Also, I have to delete these erroneous address entries twice to get them
to go away (!).
Thanks.

I know the problem from older versions.
But since 5.6.5 I don't have-it anymore.
Did-you update PM?

I think it's a feature. If you type john into the Recipients field,
and then click out of the field, PowerMail assumes that you're sending
to john in your email domain. This happens for me in 5.6.5.
Personally, I'd rather it didn't do this, or there was a preference to
turn it off.

Yes, of course, it is a feature and it does-it to me too.
But it doesn't remain anymore for all the next mails typing in John as
it did in former versions - as long as you don't _send_ such a mail.

Rene -
Could you please clarify what you mean by it doesn't remain anymore for
all the next mails?
Does anyone know a workaround, such as creating a fake domain for PM to
use or an outgoing mail filter?
Thanks.
