Question: How do I set a default adress for a contact in mail.app?

How do I change the default address that comes up when I type someone's name in Apple Mail.app?

I can't be the only person with this problem (in fact I know I'm not). Every so often someone's secondary email starts to come up first when I type their name in mail.app (for instance I'm trying to write someone at work and it goes to their home address).

Is there any way to fix this and set the default address for a contact?

You could edit the list.

Serendipitous... I was just wondering about this yesterday.

And very typically Mac - it's right there in front of you, but you don't know it until someone tells you!

(I was about to start grep'ing for plist files to edit...)
