A lot of folks are concerned over what appears in the To: field of outgoing
messages when they don't need to be. What the recipient sees may not even be
the same as what you put there, depending on the mail server and recipient
software. And no one can hide the actual email address of the recipient
unless the address is put in the BCC field of an outgoing message.

Imported Contacts will not abide by Outlook's labeling conventions. If
imported Contacts are not appearing the way you want, you will have to
manually reset the "Email Display As" field to what you want. Since this
field is of so little consequence, it's hard to imagine why you'd need to.

All I know is that I imported 719 contacts into Outlook and some of
them have both their name and email address displayed but most are
just displayed by an email address.

Does that clarify the situation?
Haha, thanks for the optimistic outlook, Russ.

It's just a personal preference.

I guess I'll just have to sweat it out whenever it bothers me that
much.

Thanks again for your help.

I'm sure that the answer is out there somewhere, I just don't have
time to sift through everything.

I want to see both the email recipient's name and email address when I
send an email, but I want Outlook 2007 to fill in the "name"
automatically as it already has that information along with the email
address.

Any tips?

Thanks.
