This seems to be a bit of an oversight on MS's part.

The display of the originators name is definitely a valuable feature - for
those senders that you know, but having the option to display columns
containing the originators actual email address, and/or 'reply to' email
address, would be more useful for messages of unknown origin.

Seems like such a simple feature addition - why wouldn't MS provide the
option?

PS: I checked OL 2007 and the above option doesn't appear to be there
either - at least not yet.

Certainly not. In Outlook, there is no "address book". The Outlook
Address Book is simply a view of your Contacts folder that shows those
contacts that have electronic addresses. When I say
"contact", I mean an entry in your Contacts folder, which is where all
your contacts should be.

Most of my emails out are sent as replies to those emailing me.

That's your explanation, then. The sender of the original message
controls what you'll see in the From field and, hence, what you'll see in
the To field when you reply.

I'm sure their full email address must
be sent (or else how could I reply correctly); it's just that I can't
see the whole address in the header of the screen, or on the list of
messages. I'm sure there must be a simple option I should select, but
it beats me at present!

You don't control how the other people's addresses appear when they send
you messages. Those people with names appearing in the From field set the
Name field in their account settings. Those people whose addresses appear
did not.
