Re: email addresses

You can't change what you see from your end. However, once that message
is sent, it will look no different to the recipient than if it had been sent from OE.

Re: email addresses

That doesn't seem to be true if you are sending mail to someone who also uses
VISTA Mail. Maybe the addresses don't show up on OE or Office Mail but my
experience is that they do in VISTA Mail. the long and the short is that if
you wish not to have your e-mail addresses show at all you probably need to
find another e-mail program or find some acceptable work arounds for this one.

Re: email addresses

Let's review a few basics. Different email programs have different
philosophies about how much information to display to the casual reader.
But unless you use BCC addressing, the recipient can ALWAYS find a
way to display all the email addresses to which the message was sent.
Email addresses have to be included in the sent message or else
the mail system would not know where to deliver the message.

Re: email addresses

You are always going to be able to see the senders email address... else you
wouldn't get the message.
Some email programs, like Thunderbird, has the option to display only the
user name (for senders in your address book). But the email address is
there, just hover your mouse over it. It just reduces the clutter, not
privacy.
WM/WLM just shows both.
