How to make ALL headings "name (email address)" format
 

Still no answer? This problem is driving me crazy as we too want the name and
e-mail on everything. Why isn't there a simple rule creator for how the
display name is created like #name #email or #name #phone or whatever based
on the other information on the contact. Other software companies can write
code like that, can't Microsoft?

Hello,

We would like to have ALL e-mail printouts in our company, by ALL
people, list ALL recipients (From, To, CC) in the format "Firstname
Lastname (email-address)" [if enough info is available].

We have people using Outlook 2000, 2003 and 2007. They get upset when
there is a printed copy of an e-mail and it just says "John Smith",
with no e-mail address. This is apparently the default of Outlook, or
at least our Outlooks. With my meagre intelligence, I have never been
able to correct this.

Does anybody know how to change this? We never, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever want it to say "John Smith". We ALWAYS want it to say
"John Smith )". We might even be willing to
buy add-in software, if available.

I have already searched thru 8 million websites, but I've never been
able to find the answer. It's driving me nuts.

I know that the info is there, because I look in "options", but
Outlook apparently defaults to hiding that info.

If you can help, thanks.

Why? What can you do with a PRINTED email address?

When people need an e-mail address, I try to look them up in old e-mails or
my distribution lists. It would be nice if they were listed there instead of
just the name. Otherwise, I have to click properties and try to guess out of
the 3 or four e-mail addresses listed which one is correct (that's how we
have it set up anyway).

Forgive me for sounding a bit dense but what has this to do with PRINTING an
email address?

I thought you meant printed to the screen. If that's not what you meant, then
what are you talking about? Why did you even bring it up?

Because the OP wants PRINTED email addresses on PRINTED emails, to which you
concurred. My question was "Why"? What can you do with a PRINTED email
address? Answer - Nothing!

The simple answer is that the sender controls the display of the address in
the TO: field.

You can change the Display Name for your contacts but it has no effect on
what you receive from others.
