Show email address
 

I've read and know that Outlook Express doesn't show the actual email
address in the compose window, but instead the name from your address
book.

But, is there any add-in or utility that gives this capability?

Show email address
 

OE shows what is in the Display field in the Address Book. You can change
that to anything you want by typing in the Name and Address, or just the
Address, and that is what it will show.

But then OE doesn't show the name, only the email address.

Maybe I'm just stuck in "Eudora mode" since I have used it for many
years. When I selected a name from my address book, or typed it in
from the to: field, it displays:

John Doe

I find I really like that because I can see the name and I can also
see the email address associated with it. Same when I get emails from
others.

So, there's no ability to get that format or display BOTH name and
email with OE?

Not unless you physically add both items in the Display field in the AB.
Sorry.
