"Did you mean to add a recipient?" prompt triggered by signature in Mail

"Did you mean to add a recipient?

You wrote “…[Email and phone redacted] ”, but it looks like you may have missed adding the recipient."


No, I didn't, that's my email in my signature. Anyone else being driven crazy by this prompt?

I finally upgraded yesterday and BOOM - I get the error.

Then I noticed that the error only applied to my Mastadon account in my sig, not to my email address.

Hmmm...


Next, I went to the Me card in contacts,

added in a new email address,

Named it Mastadon

And entered in my Mastodon account ID in the email address field.


Tested a sent message and it worked beautifully. No error message about my Mastadon address in the signature.


Looks like it's hunting for email addresses in the body text that are not in the header or on your ME card.
