Turn off details Detectors in Mail.app

Among the new features Apple touted in Leopard was details detectors in Mail.app. The notion is that whether somebody sends you an e mail with a street address in it, for example, Mail.app can detect that it’s a street address and add it an Address Book contact with just a couple of clicks. Unfortunately, while the basic view isn’t poor, sometimes you just want to copy something and the documents detectors simply get in the way (and leads, in my

case at least, to some gratuitous cursing).

Well, Michael Tsai has found the solution with a hidden preference. All you have to do is type in (or copy and paste in) one line to the Terminal and the documents detectors will be banished from Mail.app. Head on by to Tsai’s post for full details and kiss the cursing goodbye.
