You might just have to put up with it or else just copy the text you want to email and paste it into a new message.

695066 2008-08-06 05:16:00 OKAY - just a bit of a heads up on this - just had one of the other members here email with a few of the trouble addresses - Here's what I found out.

I had to have three goes at deleting previous addresses.

The ones that wouldn’t delete in bulk had been an auto signature, Eg: A businesses card style.
The standard ones that only show plain text deleted right away with no problems, that included any that had a auto sig with plain text, any that had a Picture in, email address link or Logo caused problems.

There were pictures that were also embedded in the body of the mail would not move, they were not sent as attachments.

The pictures ----;) :D

695068 2008-08-06 07:42:00 Sounds like you're doing it wrong imo.

Highlighting and deleting isn't to taxing even for me.

695069 2008-08-07 02:44:00 I just want to congratulate you for doing that Cic. So many emails come in cluttered up with addresses that it really annoys me. Nice to know some people take a few moments to clean up. :thumbs: Winston001 (3612)
695070 2008-08-07 03:20:00 Has anyone ever tried to delete all the icons on a desktop, to find that the delete key does nothing? doesn't even bring up a delete dialog?

This happens because you will invariably have selected (along with everything else) the Recycle Bin - which can't be deleted

I wonder if the email is doing something of the same thing - but it getting it confused since you can delete all if you do it in lots...

Not too many would have tried to delete all the desktop icons,I suspect,not sure about your conclusion Agentii .
So true 001,one wonders why people want to send all those addies .
I suspect ignorance plays a part .
