How do you reduce contacts listed in Messages application?

In the messages app, when I am typing a new message for a contact it shows every phone number, every imessage address, every im address, etc. Is there a way to reduce the set of addresses that show up for a contact? Or, is there a way to only list the contact name and default to the primary service (first in account list)?


Thanx,

Hi,


iChat as well

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4742007?tstart=0


I answer emails first (of new replies)

Then whether I am in iChat or Using Mountain Lion last I go to the Discussion list and read the oldest Unread first.

In Mountain Lion that includes filtering for "Messages"


Today I was in iChat when I finished emails.

However I see you posted them that way round anyway.
