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? " wrote: 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. |

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). |

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? "Gordon" wrote: "jd_thorne" wrote in message ... "Gordon" wrote: Why? What can you do with a PRINTED email address?

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. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
