Thanks for this!

On here it looks like there is a space after the hyphen, but once I pasted and saw that isn’t so, it worked just fine.

@joe, are you running Snow Leopard Mail.app? Just an obvious question before delving into troubleshooting.

You used two non-standard words to describe the running state of Mail.app — “stop” and “closed” — the correct term is “quit”. Did you quit Mail.app before executing the command in Terminal.app?

As for the new behaviour, I prefer it copying the name and address in one shot, but I wish the “Paste and Match Style” command that is common in most Cocoa-based apps now would result in just the email address portion being pasted. That way, we’d have the best of both.

Even if you stop Mail app (keep it closed) then do as you state in the terminal, it still does not work.

Tried it several times,

please expound

Funny, the picture of the girl freaking out – that looks like a 12in Powerbook. That computer won’t even run Snow Leopard.
