Subject: [KABC-ComputerShow] Re: Removing email addresses and web site addresses from the list

Ok, I figured it out ... but be careful ... the answer make make you
feel dumb (it did me!)

To get rid of a misspelled email address in Outlook, open a new email
and start to type the email address. Outlook will offer suggestions
of which email you want to use. Scroll down in the list to the one
you want to get rid of and hit Delete on your keyboard.

Whether you actually send the email, or just close it without saving,
Outlook will no longer remember that wrong address.

Doh!
