Default Fax requires non-blank email address???

Hi Folks,



In Outlook 2003, SHIFTCONTROLB brings up what I will call The Outlook
Address Book, as distinct from the Windows Address Book, and my question
involves the Outlook Address Book.



When sending a fax using Microsoft Fax, the "Address Book" button invokes
the Outlook address book which permits selection of an Outlook Contacts
Folder as a source of addresses, so long as that folder has been suitably
indicated in the properties dialog. However, entries will not appear unless
they have a RECOGNIZABLE e-mail address, which is useless during a fax
operation.



Is there a way to tell the Outlook Address Book to filter the entries based
on fax number (blank or otherwise) and NOT to filter the addresses based on
e-mail?



Thanks for the help.

No, not that I'm aware of, however, a contact that has a valid "Business
Fax" entry should be shown as this is considered a valid "email address". I
have several such entries in my contacts folder (nothing but a name and a
business fax entry) and they definitely appear in the address book when
clicking "To:" on a new Fax message.

This has been asked and answered in the other Outlook group to which you posted the same question.
