Fix the “Copy Address” annoyance in Mail on 10.6
2009 October 29
One of the changes I’ve noticed in Snow Leopard is the way in which Mail handles it’s “Copy Address” command. In Leopard, copying the address from the contextual menu simply copied the email address. In Snow Leopard, it adds the annoying chevrons so what you get is this: “<name@email.com>”
To remedy this, quit Mail and fire up Terminal. Type in the following code and reopen Mail. Done!
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO
