  2. I have another general question (not particular to this knol. In quicksilver one could call up a contact's email address and then paste it. Doesn't seem that we can do this with QSB, or am I missing something?

  3. André,

    You cannot modify the list at this time. For question two, Do you mean paste from QSB or another application into QSB?
