Guest Nathan Webb Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 What is the switch that tells Microsoft Outlook to allow cut and pasting of email addresses? There MUST be a better way! When I copy and paste an email recipient from a name in outlook from list, I get the person's name and not their email address. Aaaaooooouuurrrrrrggggghhhh! The only way I know today to copy and paste the full email is to go to "view" "options" and then copy and paste from the "message options" header section. Geeeeeeeazus. Can Microsoft Outlook be this stuuuuuuuupid? There MUST be a better way to copy and paste Microsoft Outlook email addresses? I'm sure there is a switch somewhere that says "when I copy an email address, I want the email address, dammnit!". But, where is that switch in Microsoft Outlook?
Guest Pat Willener Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: How to get Microsoft Outlook to cut and paste full email addresses I get both name and email address when I copy. If I want the address only, I do Properties, Tab, Ctrl+C.

Guest Diane Poremsky Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: How to get Microsoft Outlook to cut and paste full email addresses there is no switch. What version of outlook are you using? Newer ones will show the name and address while older ones often only show the display name. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM "Nathan Webb" <nathan776@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:6_LDi.31865$RX.14515@newssvr11.news.prodigy.net... > What is the switch that tells Microsoft Outlook to allow cut and pasting > of > email addresses? > > There MUST be a better way! > > When I copy and paste an email recipient from a name in outlook from list, > I get the person's name and not their email address. > Aaaaooooouuurrrrrrggggghhhh! > > The only way I know today to copy and paste the full email is to go to > "view" "options" and then copy and paste from the "message options" header > section. > > Geeeeeeeazus.
