I just experienced a quite lame "bug" with my .mac mail account, and apparently I am neither the first nor the last to whom it might happen: If you by chance write many first names, separated by commas in a card of your AddressBook, as ilusstrated here after (that coul dbe to put a whole family under one mail address and on one card):  and then you wan to send a mail to the said contact (Mail would autofill with the card names),  Then your mail, which is duely sent to whe it happened to me, I was lucky to get an answer from one of the mistakenly contatced persons, who actually confirmed me it was happening quite often to him. I could afterwards reproduce the bug, and observe that it happens also when NO ADDRESS is filled in in the card in AddressBook. Well, you can imagine the amount of e-mails sent to the worng places in case of grouped mails! As a conclusion of this story: .Mac is taking some quite unwanted initiatives. So: 1. avoid using the smtp.mac.com, prefer to use your ISP smtp server. 2. avoid commas in names, and cards without e-mail address in AddressBook (really handy!) |
