The address seem to disappear when I hit del, and if I reopen the drop down list it seems to be gone. But if I type some letters of the address I just deleted, in the To field, it pops up again (but happy ending later, read ahead) > If you are not referring to the above history, check your > Options->Preferences->Address History and, at the bottom, select Limit > history by 0 days and Purge exceeding entries from history on exit.

I edited the file with an hex editor and I vaporized the goddam zombie.

Nobody deserves to be haunted for a lifetime by one single typo, when you had the misfortune to misspell an address, and now you risk to send mail to the same wrong address everytime you write to the same person. If I couln't find a solution I was about to reinstall TB from scratch. Thank you, really.
