using drag and drop with a smart list

I can create a smart list and use the drop-down menu to email recipients. But I cannot drag and drop the smart list into the address field. The icon will not stay in the address field.


How can I fix this?

The To: header field in a Mail compose window is drop-ready from an external email address dragged and dropped as a text-clipping, but not from within the Mail compose window itself. Probably by design.


I entered the (now nonsensical) email address foobar@pa.dec.com into the Terminal. Then I selected that string and dragged and dropped it onto the To: header field.


As Luis Sequeira1 has mentioned, if the email address is remembered by mail, then you only need to enter a few characters for the address to be auto-completed.
