Is there a way to clear out all of the names that are being autofilled
whenever I compose a new message? I like the feature but I don't need some
of the email addresses that it suggest to me.

TIA,

Outlook 2002 and 2003 maintain an "autocomplete" list of address you have
previously used. If you see one in the popup suggestion list that you don't
like, just select it and press delete. You can also clear the entire
autocomplete list by deleting the .nk2 file. See
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm for file locations.
 
There may be a more effcient way, but if you turn off the feature,
restart Outlook, and turn it back on, it will start with a "clean
slate". Of course, eventually it will fill up again as you send.

If there is a manual way to edit the list of choices, I'd like that
information as well.

There's a company that makes a tool called "Owtlook" that can edit the
autocompletion cache.
