Fixing “Copy Address” in Mail on 10.6

Ken Aspeslagh offers a way to get back the 10.5 “Copy Address” functionality in Mail:

On 10.5, copying an address using the “Copy Address” contextual menu copied only the email address. On 10.6, it very unhelpfully includes the name portion, with < > around the email part, like “Joe Smith joe.smith@apple.com”.

defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO
