| | Email address displays full details of recipient When sending emails on Windows Mail the full email address and name of the receiver are displayed on the header. The old system i used had a "display as" option and all that it showed was the persons name or nickname. I usually send mail using the BCC option to hide identities so i know that its not a big deal but its driving me mad. I know that there must be a way of changing it to just show a name. Thanks. |

| | Re: Email address displays full details of recipient That's what Windows Mail shows while you are composing the email. After the email is sent, the recipient will see only the name, if that is what his email program normally displays. If you don't like the method used by Windows Mail, upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://download.live.com/wlmail -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Marigold" <Marigold@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:677CD6A1-C371-47F9-B5DC-7192691205F9@xxxxxx Quote: > When sending emails on Windows Mail the full email address and name of the > receiver are displayed on the header.

| | Re: Email address displays full details of recipient Not a feature of Windows Mail. You do find a "Display As" feature in Office Outlook, were you using it, instead?

| | Re: Email address displays full details of recipient You're very welcome. Thanks for reporting back. You can customize the Quick View folders to simulate the 'one for all' approach used by Windows Mail. I keep my 10 account folders in Windows Live Mail collapsed to just one line each. If you need additional hints on how to use Windows Live Mail effectively, ask for help in the WLM newsgroup: http://www.microsoft.com/communities...e.mail.desktop or via your news reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...e.mail.desktop -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Marigold" <Marigold@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4233AF16-7706-4EC5-B5A2-EBA6C8763199@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello Gary.
