Display e-mail address in "TO" field instead of name

I use Outlook2002 and Windows XP. How do I display recepient's email address,
instead of the name, in the TO field in Outlook? The problem we have it that
we receive e-mails which say they are addressed to Test Example (who works
for us and whose e-mail address is [email protected]). When you check
the recepient's e-mail address it is someone else in the firm. I have tried
to create my own field and use the Iff function and the [E-mailo account]
field but cannot get it to work. Any ideas? Many thanks.

In the TO field in the Outlook Inbox. We have two members of staff, MrsA
([email protected])and MrsB ([email protected]). Some mail we get is shown (in
the TO field in the Inbox) as going to MrsA but when you check the actual
receiving email address it is [email protected]. We need to know who received
the email, i.e. the receiving email address. I have tried the create a field
using the [E-mail Account]field and the Iff command but have been unable to
get it to work.

That would be controlled by the sender, not the recipient.

Thanks for all your help. If I open an e-mail, right click the to-field and
click on properties, Outlook gives me the recipient's email address. Is there
really no way to extract this information and display it in the Outlook
Inbox? Can this be achieved by using VBasic?
