I'm running Outlook 2007 SP1 MSO 12.0.6425.1000

I'll open a contact say jane doe and here's what I'll see for the
contact info/card

Email:
Display as: Joe Smith ) NOTE: a valid email address
for another contact of mine

I'll double click the email address to open the properties and I'll
see garbage characters for the display name as well as the email
address.

How I have to fix is cut the valid email address, wipe out the email &
display info,
paste the valid email address into notepad
the copy and paste back into the contact and save

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can't explain how this could have happened, but the only way I know to
correct it without using third-party tools is by manually changing the
information to what it should be.

Another possibility:
You need to pay very close attention when you create Contact Records.
Outlook will search your autocompletion cache for possible matches and if
found use the information from the cache to autocomplete various mail
fields. These fields may then be completed incorrectly if you aren't paying
attention to what Outlook is doing. Since your example uses two people with
the same name, it may be what's occurring here.

Karl,

The only thing I can think if is my BlackBerry desktop app.

I ran scanpst and think that may have cleared up some other issues I
was having but the contact's email is still whacked... My have to be
a manual fix for me.

Thanks everyone for your input.
