I just bought a new Mac Mini Q4 with Maverick OS 10.9.4. Everything seems to work except for one glaring problem. Double clicking a contact name does NOT cause the address to be placed in the "TO" field. After checking on several forum entries and seeing no plausible solution I moved everything to Thunderbird where all is well. I will wait it out there until Apple rectifies this problem.
You are in the Using iPad forum. you belong in one of the Mac forums, or maybe in the Mavericks forum but not here. I am asking the hosts to move your post to a more appropriate forum.
I did not intend to use iPad Forum. How do I move this question to the correct area?
The hosts moved it for you already. Look in the upper right part of the screen, to the right of the Apple Support Communities heading. You are now in the OS X Mavericks forum. Hopefully, somebody will respond soon.
What happens if you just start typing the contacts name?
If one types the first one or two character of the contact's name then a whole set of options pops up one of which may be what was desired.
This is an awkward workaround and I suspect Apple software engineers had to work all night to dream this up. It only takes several times longer to develop a "Send To" list this way. You still have to click on the Address Book to see the list of contacts to determine which ones you wish to include. The approach of typing the first few characters only works if you know exactly whom to include and how they are listed in the Address Book and then only if there is just one or maybe two of them.
I'll just hang with Thunderbird until Apple adds the double click feature back in.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Mavericks remove that feature from mail (who knows why). You need to drag the name to the address line or just start typing the name.
