"TO: Addresses from Contacts all say "E-mail"
I have been using Outlook for many years, but I just realized that nobody
else's messages from Outlook show the "To: " address like mine do. Anytime I use an e-mail address from my Contacts, the name is shown with " (E-mail) " appended to it. For example, To: Thomas (E-mail) Of course, the display name in the actual Contact listing never shows it that way, but every name in my Contact list is displayed with (E-mail) added on every time I address a new message. I'm using Outlook 2000 with the Corporate/Workgroup profile. What have I done? |

If you had addresses in the "E-mail2" or "E-mail3" fields, you would see "Name (E-mail2)" or "Name (E-mail3)" if you were to choose one of thoes addresses. According to other posts in the Outlook newsgroups, this display is hard-coded in Outlook 2000. However, since you say others don't see it, I can't explain it. The determination of what to display changed in Outlook 2002. Are you sure the other people you mention are using Outlook 2000 as you are? Here's a reference to one message that claims the display is hard-coded. Neo is an MVP, so I'd tend to trust what he says. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...e=source&hl=en -- Brian Tillman |

Thanks for the reply Brian.
I think that answers it. The post you referenced reads like the effect only applies to users of the Corporate/Workgroup version. When I started using Outlook, the company I worked for used Exchange so we all ahd C/W. I've always used that setup ever since. But I don't know many other Exchange users. If the "Internet Only" profile doesn't hard-code field name the same way, that would explain why don't see others looking like mine. Think I'll try a switch to Internet Only and see what happens. I'll report back here so we can have something definitive in this thread.
