Default Hide fax & phone numbers in address book/contacts

How can I choose to ONLY show contact email address (and not fax or phone #s)
when using my address book to send email? (i.e. When I click on the "To..."
in a new message to choose recipients, I only want to see email addresses)

Default Hide fax & phone numbers in address book/contacts

Phone numbers do not appear. Fax numbers appear by design. Outlook considers
fax numbers to be valid electronic addresses, since there are many client-
and server-based components that can use such addresses.

One method to hide fax numbers from the address book is to prefix the fax
number with one or more letters (maybe B for business fax, H for home, O for
other). If the fax number begins with a letter, Outlook won't show it in the
address book.

There are a couple of utilities that can help you hide fax numbers from the
address book. See:

http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook_Solutions.htm (Hide Fax Numbers)

Another way to avoid having fax numbers appear in the address book is
simply not to enter data in the fax fields. Put fax numbers in some other
(non-phone) fields.
