I wasn't sure what the "column widget" was but this is too labour intensive. If I have a mailing list with 80 entries and only want to delete one of them this means I have to go through this process and select 79!

You do not have to actually select 79 separate names.

Select 'Mailing List' Use 'Ctrl+A', it selects/highlights all in the list in one go Then press Ctrl key and uncheck/left click on the one you do not want. click on 'Write'

Sorry but can you explain what the "column widget" is please. I don't see anything which looks like a widget!

The 'Contacts Sidebar' by default will show 'Name' column, but you can also elect to show 'Email' and/or 'Address Book'.

The 'Column widget' is a small icon located to the right of 'Name' column. See image below as guide.

Thanks - I found the column widget! I was looking for it in the edit list but it was in the Contacts Sidebar. The edit list is the one where I want to see the names though and it shows email addresses. I can't see anything which lets me change to names in that list - so I am in the position as with Expand Recipients. Do you have any more ideas!? BTW thanks for all your help.

• Open 'Address Book'
• Select 'Mailing List' name
• Use 'Ctrl+A', it selects/highlights all in the list in one go
• Press Ctrl key and left click on the name/email address you do not want to uncheck the name.
• Click on 'Write'

The mailing lists do have both names and email addresses but only the email addresses appear when I Expand Recipients or go to Edit List in your method with the Contacts Sidebar. Perhaps what I want isn't available? Now that I realise that your method means going into the address book, using Ctrl+A, then Write it works well. Not sure how to use it when Forwarding mail though. Many thanks for all your help.

Yes it seems we are getting near an answer! All of my address book entries have a first and last name included but few have the Display Name field filled in - not sure why that is. When I complete the Display Name field then that is shown in the Edit List. Now - is there some clever way to fill in the Display Name from the First and Last Name fields that isn't manual!?

Thanks - I am in process of adding Display Name to all my Address Book entries which is probably easier than what you suggest. Since when I add new entries the Display Name is filled in automatically the lack of Display Name must have come about when I imported the addresses. Sadly, although there is a First and Last Name the default when I expand the list seems to be the email address. I suggest we leave it as solved with me just adding Display Name. Many thanks again for all your sterling efforts on my behalf.

View/Show Name As is set to Last/First.
