From: TV Woman on 6 May 2010 10:43 starting to type in the "To" section populates a drop-down. It has been suggested to arrow down to the address I want to delete and hit the delete button. That removes the name until the computer is restarted for another session. The names return. How do I permanently delete the selected names? These names are not stored anywhere in my contacts list.
