Default Contacts and "Display As"

No, that's not what it's for at all. It's to show a display name on messages that you **send** not receive.

I'm assuming that the "Display As" line in the contacts page that you fill
out is to show that name or nickname in the from line of an incoming email.
For some reason it does not seem to work for all my contacts. Could someone
point me in the right direction.

I'm running winXP and outlook 2003.

Thanks in advance,

Ray
