Removing old addresses

Many of you may already know, but it's taken me a little while to work out how to delete an email address from Mail. I'd always thought that Mail used Leopard's Address Book and that if I deleted someone's old email address from there it would disappear from Mail. Not so.

The old address still appears in the "To:" field when you create a new message. That, quite frankly, is rather annoying. The solution however is quite simple. In Mail simply open the previous recipients window (you'll find it under on the menu bar) and delete the address from the list.

It's one of those little things that I just didn't know until today, and now you know if you didn't already!
