I've noted this most annoying yahoogroups From name munging system
apparently put in place to protect subscriber addresses from spammers.
The email was intended for the recipient with the gmail address, but
instead went to a Yahoogroup. When I addressed the email, only the
first part was visible in the address field, which probably
contributed to me not noticing the wrong address.
Interesting that only the first part was visible. hmmm. Usually, I see
the whole address. But then, I typically send to only one address and
only occasionally, to multiple recipients.
As I also have a valid address to the same person – "Firstname
Lastname something at gmail.com" – that pops up in the “To”
field, I suppose that Mailmate somehow is trying to be helpful by
picking up these kind of addresses from previous emails to this and
other mailing lists.
Yes. But it's not MailMate doing this but your system contacts.
You likely have your system contacts syncing with your contacts in your
provider address book.
Is it possible to get rid of this helpfulness?
What I had to do to prevent this was to disable the automatic creation
of new contacts for 'unknown' recipients in my email provider address
book that syncs with my Mac's contacts..
