I do realize that the format of the listing of recipiens I see is not necessarily the same as seen by the recipients themselves. Where I am puzzled is why when I send an email to a number of recipients, myself included, that when I open the email some of the recipients are shown with both name and address and some just with name. Given that all of the recipients are in a common distribution list with the identical information included in that list for each one it seems odd that there would be a difference in the display of the names. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

The addresses displayed alongside names are indeed those associated with the names in the address book, and there are no other email addresses associated with each name. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

The one's that displayed both name and address had a variant spelling in the Address Book for the name. Adjusting the spelling did the job. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

Might some but not all of your addressees appear in the Previous Recipients list? -- John Varela |
