Mail Autofill

In mail - if one has "automatically complete addresses" checked in mail prefs - on typing a couple of letters it gives you all the past options of addresses used for those letters. this list soon fills up with many addresses that are no longer relevant.

I seem to remember in tiger that one could right click on the address and go " remove from list " ( or something like that )

In Mail 3.5 ( leopard) that option no longer seems to be there.

Does anyone know of an easy way to remove unwanted addresses from this list?

Happy New Year to you All

Use the "Previous Recipients" menu item from the Window menu in Mail.app
