Copy Email Address Only


OK, I’d mentioned this one in the sidebar several months ago. But I hadn’t actually done it myself. Now that I’m running SalesForce I find myself copying and pasting email addresses a lot. However under Snow Leopard the default for copying an email address is to include the name followed by the email address in braces. SalesForce really doesn’t like that format though. So what we want is just the email address to copy.

It’s easy enough to do.

defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO

Now when you paste into a Safari field you get

myemail@somecompany.com

instead of

My Long Name <myemail@somecompany.com>
