Address book question

[BC]

I just started using Office 2004. I imported my contact addresses from
Outlook Express. I now notice that when I type in "bc" (I use this to
forward messages to myself that I need to take care of at a later
date) in the "To" column in Entoruage, an address shows up that I
cannot find in the address book itself. It is someone I don't even
know.

Where might that address come from?

From the help file with a search on "recent"

Change settings for the recently used address list
1. On the Entourage menu, click Preferences.
2. Under Mail & News Preferences, click Compose.
3. Under Recent Addresses, do one of the following:
€ To turn the recently used address list on or off, select or clear the
Display a list of recently used addresses when addressing messages check
box.
€ To remove all entries from the recently used address list, click Clear
List.
As you send and receive messages, the recently used address list will fill
with new entTip If you send and receive many messages, your list might
become cluttered with unneeded addresses. One way to minimize this effect is
to make sure that Junk E-Mail Protection is turned on. Senders of messages
that Entourage classifies as junk are not added to the recently used address
list.
