Help with contacts

Is there a way to just send the name of the person, and not the name and
email address, example "Jim Miller <jmill@hotmail.com>" this is very
annoying, I know in OE it only sends the name

Re: Help with contacts

No. This feature was requested because so many people and so much spam
spoof their email address, so it was desired to see what the actual email
address was, as any name can be given.

Wrong.

OE sent both. It only showed you the name, but it sent both. WinMail shows
you both and sends the same thing OE sent.

In OE when I receive an email with the senders name all you had to do was
highlight the name right click and select properties, and it would show the
email address

Re: Help with contacts

Yeah, but that's 3 things you have to do to see the email address:

1. click on form.
2. Highlight name
3. Right click
4. Go to Properties.
