The bubble: Click it once to select it, then copy with the menu or a key. The full address, in plain text, is now on the clipboard. If you paste into CC: or BCC: it shows as a bubble. If you past into a mail message (or any other text area) its plain text. If you drag the bubble to the desktop it's a text clipping with the full address in the text. If you drag the bubble to a message body or the text area in another application, it acts like a text clipping, dropping in the full text. If you control click on the bubble, you have a number of choices. Edit Address changes the bubble to plain text in the To: field. One missing item in the contextual menu list is Copy Address to Clipboard. > Can you clarify this one? > > I need to get access to the email address and I want it on the paste > board. > > Currently I just see the bubble. > Stephen Hart http://eugraph.com
