Disable data detectors in Mac Mail
In Leopard, the Mac Mail application has data detectors that detect certain
types of data like dates, times, and addresses and turns them into clickable
pieces of information so that you can add them into iCal, the Address Book, or
other applications. If you use these, great. If not, the data detectors are
just a little annoying.
If you are not using them, you can turn them off. Just open a terminal window
and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableDataDetectors YES
Once this command is entered, quit Mail and restart it. The data detectors will
now be gone. I fyou change your mind and want them back, repeat the command but
replace the YES with NO.
