Thanks for the reply, Otto. But no, it doesn't. If I type John Smi it still autocompletes to John and Mary Smith, and no John Smith shows up on the list.

I should have mentioned, I upgraded to Lion and Mail 5.1 last night and the behavior has not changed.

(see my response to your first question as well).
Things like the "previous correspondents list" are entirely email client dependent, not email standards dependent. So, for example, in Entourage 2008 the "previous correspondents (can't remember if that's exactly what Entourage called it)" was not really editable at all, and if it became too obtrusive you just had to delete the whole thing. And, I think it was entirely based on people who'd sent YOU mail, not people to whom you'd sent messages. In any event, if you've gotten a message FROM "John and Mary Smith" and the underlying email address is <jsmith@isp.com>, you have that email address in your Entourage address book (perhaps in separate records for John Smith and for Mary Smith), and you begin composing a message to John Smith, it will ALWAYS be trumped by what's in the recent correspondents list (I'm hoping Diane Ross is here and can confirm or refute this).
Fortunately, one of the nice things about Apple Mail is that its recent correspondents list is editable, so if you don't like what it's doing, at least you can delete individual entries without trying to fool the user interface.

I guess I didn't test it completely enough before saying the "Redo" would undo the "undo". I agree...intuitively, the "Undo" should simply undo the the previous action by removing the files from the directory, and the subsequent "Redo" should simply reinstate these files to the directory. They shouldn't have to be re-copied from the original source.
Apple should correct this quirk.

Seems to me the likely problem here is that the SD card isn't really using the Mac OS filing system, and that the Mac OS has been coded to read the things but the way the Mac OS interacts with them isn't the same as it does a real Mac OS volume. So, for example, if you ADD a file to the thing you can make it unreadable by your camera.
What if you formatted a USB stick as a genuine bootable Mac volume (all of us on Lion know we can and many of think we NEED to do this for rescue purposes), put a folder of JPEGs on that card, copy them from the card to the Mac, then undo the copy? My bet is that it will behave like any other external Mac drive at that point.

I think it would be safer to let the camera do the formatting. I know
I have never had a problem reading files to my computer from an SD
card or CompactFlash card on any of my cameras, but I don't know how
reliable my cameras would be writing to a MacOS-formatted card. Just
my opinion that the way I've been doing it is just fine and that I
don't need to fix a problem I've never encountered and probably never
will encounter. (Also, I NEVER reformat a card until I've verified
that the files have been successfully copied to at least two drives
and the card has been removed from the computer.)

Sorry, I didn't intend to imply that anyone try formatting their camera SD cards as Mac OS volumes. I'm quite sure that would NOT work for many cameras. I was only suggesting that the reason many users were seeing what seemed strange behavior from the Mac OS file system when dealing with these cards and blaming it on the Mac OS, when in fact I suspect the reason for the aberrant behavior is because the cards use a "foreign" file system.

In Outlook, when I wanted to separate email addresses for a husband and a wife, I could specify the "display as" name for each of their addresses and send an email to whichever I wanted (or both). I don't see a way of doing that in Address Book without having three separate entries for each family: husband, wife, and both (for sending Christmas cards, for example).

Having read your question, I realize I've never understood clearly why my own email clients (they've been Entourage through 2008, Mail for Lion, and Windows Outlook 2007 when forced to use it) sometimes display just the email address, sometimes a person's name as well. I think what you're asking it the ability to pick the displayed name when you're composing a message, let's say to <friends@isp.com >. Sometimes your intended target might be the husband, sometimes the wife, sometimes both.
If that's your goal, I don't think you can be certain to achieve it even if you can get your client to keep mail directed to the individuals sorted separately at your end, because different servers and receiving email clients/web clients will likely display the address differently. They'll all use the email address, of course. I actually don't understand why couples sometimes use a shared address for individual correspondence, though of course it's done quite often.

I considered that before posting my response, looked at the source domain, tried to find other posts from the user (the search tool for the group told me only moderators could search for users).
Having had a passable forgery of an amazon "shipment notice email" make it to my office manager's inbox just a few days ago, I agree with others who suggest some period of monitoring of new users' activity is a good idea.
The real spammers won't waste time composing even a single group-relevant post. Genuine new users who are in the least resourceful, should be able to attract someone's attention even if all the list moderators are together on a moon-shot for 7 days with no internet access (full email addresses of many of the regulars are commonly attached to their posts).
In the end, I posted a response because I KNOW people for whom Life = facebook �twitter, and I'm frequently amazed at how little thought some of those people have given to what they're exposing to the world.

Agree with you on that completely.
It is surprising to know that spamming inside groups is so different from spam one receives on forum websites, blogs and facebook pages. We just burnt our fingers on the blogs of our website, because some of these spammers are really smart, and active pages will allow bots to read what is necessary in order to strike it big on the web. I didn't want to say much at the first go when I saw that email, and that's coz there are many advantages that facebook and twitter have, which can be useful for quicker and faster resolution of problems. But then again, they're really not the best tools for accurate discussions.
So far, Yahoo! advertises itself along with each mail that is shared. But if the company starts to lose value in managing these discussion forums, people like us will have to look for new avenues to continue talking.
Since it would be off-topic for the group, would request those interested in brainstorming alternatives to write to me in person.

Arjun

At my Yahoo group (a reading group) I have it set so that I moderate all first posts from new members (members who haven't posted previously). It works quite well - very well, actually. We don't get that many new members anymore and when one of them actually posts I'm usually quite happy. But once in awhile it will be an author promoting his book or something - sorry - we don't do that here.
Our first-post moderation is announced on the Yahoo home-page - the join-up page. If a first post is fine (a reasonable response to what we've been discussing) I lift the moderated status and the member can post freely. At most it causes a delay of a couple or three hours.
Another use is that from time to time a member will get one of those little wormie things which sends spam to an entire address book. Those posts go through - it just can't really be helped without moderating all posts - but I then put that member on moderated status until I receive a clean message. Another time a member decided to have a political melt-down and darn near created a flame-war with extremist language - I told him I'd lift it when I saw a couple of reasonable posts.

Agreed. And it let's legitimate new members know why their first

Twice in the past few days I've seen posts from you where clicking the link you've provided didn't work because somewhere along the way email servers have inserted a linefeed character that breaks up the URL. It seems we both use Apple Mail; I USED to blame some of this stuff on my receiving digests, but I stopped doing that when I moved from Entourage to Mail with Lion. It's only a minor inconvenience because I know what's wrong when it happens and you've been kind enough to supply a "condensed" URL; I'm just hoping to learn if there's something I don't have configured correctly in my mail text display prefs.

I think it's Yahoo's mail servers that break up URLs. Enclosing the URL in
angle brackets (< >) sometimes helps but not always, which is why the use
of URL shorteners such as Tiny URL and bitly is common here. If you do
receive a broken URL, the answer, clumsy though it is, is to copy-paste the
remainder into the address bar.

Stripping a MBP of mail and contacts

I want to give my son my MBP but I need to remove lot of the information it contains. I'm not sure how to best remove access to Mail, iCal and Address Book, which I use on other computers. Can I simply remove these from the applications folder without losing the information on the other computers or the functionality? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, and Happy New Year.
Best regards.

Use the disc(s) that came with the machine to erase and install the operating system again. This will wipe out any personal info that may be on the drive.

Probably the best thing is to reformat the hard drive and then
reinstall everything from the CD's or DVD's that came with it.
If you still want to keep stuff on that computer and either trust
your son not to play nasty games with it or at least trust his
inability to get to your stuff then set up a new account for him and
make sure that the old account has a hard-to-break password.

I'd say, create a new user account from System Preferences by your son's name. Once logged in, you should be having new setups for all the program applications - i.e. within your son's ID, he would be allowed to set up his own iCal, Mail, Address Book etc., which will be independent of your own account.
Provide his account with administrative rights.
Log into his account.
Delete your account, and select the option that says delete user files.
I think you should be good.
You will save yourself the trouble of re-installing the entire computer and the other applications that you like to use. Additionally, your son can also use his own iTunes Store account to download content independently within his user environment on the computer.
