A Notes 8 mail aggravation
Category Notes internet address
In prior versions of Notes, if you received an email from an internet user, you would see their internet email address. In Notes 8 (to be more consistent with Outlook I imagine) you now see the users display name, this is fine and not really my aggravation. The problem I have is that I often want the users internet address, so I use to copy and paste and use it where I wanted. In Outlook I can right click on a name to copy the email to the clipboard, or I can double click on the name to see the details. In Notes, I have to move my mouse all the way over to the right of the screen and select Show Details, then move the mouse all the way back to the left of the screen to select and copy the email address. If there should be a Show Detail button, the button should at least be near the area it relates to, so have it near the email addresses.
Another issue it used to be when you forward an email you could still see and copy the internet addresses of people in the To, and CC now you can no longer get to the internet addresses in the forwarded email which is a royal pain, (You can work around this, by choosing show details before you choose forward or reply)
Does anyone else find this a little aggravating?
To my friend that contacted me the other day to call me a whiner, I would agree this post is a whine about notes, but would still argue my other post wasn't
Oh and to keep things balanced,
I'll post about my biggest Sametime aggravation tomorrow

I could join you in a Sametime whine session if you like ... I challenge you to one in fact! You bring the developer woes, I will throw in some admin tidbits .... I believe we could cook up a stew worth dishing out if we really wanted to!

Yes! I have to forward a lot of emails and it's so annoying to have to resend the same email because I forGOT I had to MANUALLY paste the address of the person whose message I'm forwarding. This is great for productivity
