In Outlook Express there is a feature known as 'nicknames' where I can
assign a nickname to my email address, say 'stud'. Then, every time I type
'stud' in the 'To' box, it resolves to my email address.

I can't seem to find this feature in Outlook XP. The address book does
have a field called 'Nickname', but when I enter a nickname for a contact,
then enter that nickname in the 'To' box and press CTRL+K all I get is
"Microsoft Outlook does not recognize..." What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.
