If I click a contact in the contact payne of a write window, it comes up in the To: place as <" joeblogs"@talktalk.com> for example. Even though in the address book it is joeblogs@talktalk.com. When I try to send the email, it comes back as an unrecogniseable address and is not sent. If I remove the <""> characters by hand ,it works. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Valgt løsning

it adds the < > because there is a space in the address that makes it invalid. For some reason that escapes me it lets you add defective addresses to the outgoing mail.

Thank you Matt, I think the problem is solved. I must have been in the habit of putting a space before the email address, one I removed them the "" were removed, The <> still surrounds the email address on the outgoing mail but that is to differentiate the address from the friends name. Thanks.
