Drag from Apple Address book not working

Suddenly I notice Drag & Drop from the Apple Address Book does not work into Bulk Mailer. Is this a new bug? I never had this problem before. I'm using Bulk Mailer v. 5.6.5, Leopard v. 10.5.1

Have you tried to restart your computer?

Hi MBM,

I am having the same issue. I can no longer drag contacts from Mac Address book to the recipient list in MBM version 5.6.5

I am on a mac g5 running OS 10.5.1

Great program. My work around has been to use the "Import" button, which is a lot of extra steps for my mailings.

Help...

Can you drag and drop entries to TextWranger? If not I guess this is another 10.5 bug. A workaround is to drop the cards to your desktop or a folder, then select them all and drop them to MaxBulk.

Hi Stan,

Thanks for the quick reply. This may be a dumb ?? but what is Text wrangler?

I can confirm, however, that dragging a group of addresses to the desktop, and then to the recipient window of MBM does work.

I just delete the desktop files after getting them into MBM.

Hopefully not to much of a nightmare to kill the bug.

Thanks for your support.
