Geek Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/apple-mail-icon.jpeg" alt="Apple mail icon" title="apple-mail-icon" width="140" height="140" class="alignright size-full wp-image-29866" /> Ever noticed that when you copy an email address from OS X Mail app and paste it elsewhere that you get the addressees full name as well as their email address? Try it yourself by right-clicking on someones email address like someonesname@domain.com and copy it, then paste it elsewhere and it will show up as “Someones Name <someonesname@domain.com>“, which can be fairly annoying if you just want an address.</p> <p>To resolve this copy/paste annoyance, launch Terminal and paste this line into the command line:</p> <p><code>defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool false</code></p> <p>Relaunch Mail app for changes to take effect, then try to copy and paste an address. Only the email address should go to the clipboard now.</p> <p><em>Thanks to Randy M for the tip</em></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fO7IRE8Kk_Gx42Xxi35IkI17xZs/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fO7IRE8Kk_Gx42Xxi35IkI17xZs/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fO7IRE8Kk_Gx42Xxi35IkI17xZs/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fO7IRE8Kk_Gx42Xxi35IkI17xZs/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9MDsNJwYQeY:O6_oaYiAjDY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9MDsNJwYQeY:O6_oaYiAjDY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=9MDsNJwYQeY:O6_oaYiAjDY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9MDsNJwYQeY:O6_oaYiAjDY:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=9MDsNJwYQeY:O6_oaYiAjDY:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9MDsNJwYQeY:O6_oaYiAjDY:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9MDsNJwYQeY:O6_oaYiAjDY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/9MDsNJwYQeY" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
