Undocumented tip: Use the keyboard to delete unwanted recent addresses

Two weeks ago I posted an undocumented tip for quickly scrolling to a specific date from the Microsoft Answers forum. Today, another forum poster provided a great undocumented tip for using the keyboard to quickly delete unwanted email addresses from most recently used (MRU) list.

From the Outlook forum: ‘More than 2 week reminders?’

mlevin77 asks:

Manage Outlook contacts using AppleScript

Our contacts often share the same information. For example, we may know two or more people who work for the same company and share the same address, phone number and website. Invariably, as we add contacts, though, we sometimes enter slightly different information for each one.

Using Outlook’s AppleScript capabilities, we can standardize this information in our contacts. . . .
