Also, the little icon on each item doesn't mean anything there, double-click it should bring up the address book. See screenshot below... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Here is my suggestion: 1) Single-click the little namecard icon, should high-light that email address; 2) Once an email address is high-lighted, press Del key can easily remove it; 3) Double-click the little namecard icon, should bring up the address book;

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20021229 This may be related to a more general keyboard focus/shortcut bug. May also relate to lack of shortcut keys for "T"o, "C"C, "B"CC, etc. In Netscape 4.x You used to be able to <Tab> to the "To/CC/Bcc" pull-down and just hit the first letter, or "Del" to delete the address.
As noted in comment 4, the single-click-to-highlight suggestion is already in place; and once it is highlighted, Del clears it. The suggestion regarding double-clicking the icon to open the address book is a good one; I have copied it over to Bug 81672, which was already about a UI to open the address book at the field without going to the toolbar or menu. Ying-Lin Xia: given that, may we close this bug? (as WorksForMe)
Everything but the features mentioned in comment 6 are now working here. However, further research reveals that comment 6 is better handled by bug 144303.
