I just stumbled upon the fact that if you double click the Smart Address in a new Mail message, you can then edit it directly. This only works when writing a new message, however. Existing Mail is still broken such that you can't get around the "smart" address to simply copy the person's name.

Edit Smart Addresses in new Mail messages
One edit feature I would really like to see added to Apple Mail is the ability to rename the message subject. Its so helpful in Outlook everyday when Clients choose to send an email but not write a subject or include something totally unhelpful and nondescriptive.

While I also hate non-descriptive subject lines, the way Outlook deals with it is nasty. It will actually modify the message *in the message store.* In other cases I have seen Outlook go as far as removing or altering MIME alternative message bodies. So you can never know that the message you are seeing, is the same as the message you received. A mail client should never modify the original message! If it wants to modify the message *presentation to the user*, that is fine.

In Preferences > Viewing, you can uncheck "Use Smart Addresses" to show a more traditional name/address display in exsting messages.

That's my preference for viewing recipient addresses. I don't trust Smart Addresses to reliably match my expectations. |
