Displaying Email address instead of Display Name

N

Norman Rosenthal

Does anyone know how I could setup a folder so when I view it I can see the
email address only and not the display name. I have certain folders that
are spam and would like to be able to add the email addresses to the spam
filter without having to open up the mail to see what the from address is?

Thank you
Norman

See the email address where? Are you talking about the From field?
That is determined by the sender, not the recipient.

Yes I am talking about the from field. Is there any way around this so I
can get this information.

I hate to open up the spam but you kind of need to to fill our blacklists

Thanks
Norman

Will a 3rd party utility that brings up the headers for you work?
Pocketknife peek lets you view the source and headers easily - and it's
free. http://www.xintercept.com/pkpeek.htm

If just a name is display (instead of an e-mail address), right-click on
the name and select Properties to see the e-mail name.

Why are you filtering on the spammer's e-mail address? You really think
they use a valid e-mail address? They'll use your e-mail address.
They'll use some other poor sucker's e-mail address to which they've
also sent their crap. They'll auto-generated some username to append
onto a randomly selected valid domain to create a bogus e-mail address.
You know they are a spammer and you think they morals to use their valid
e-mail address, or that they will use that same e-mail address on their
next batch of crap they spew?
