entourage changes name in From: line in message list

I have noticed that if you have someone's email in your address book
and they send you an email, the "From:" line in the Message List and
Preview Pane will be the name you have in your address book, not what
the user has as his/her "common name" part of the email address. I
don't like this feature. Is there any way to turn it off? Thanks for
any assistance.

Hi Conrad!

That's a new feature introduced in SP1 for Entourage 2008. No, you can
not override it.

"This bug is really a new feature in SP1"

Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like to see this feature
changed in future versions by using the Help --> Send Feedback mechanism
in any Office application.

Hope this helps!

Yes, but of course not in the way I was hoping. (I think it's telling
that an MS MVP's first thought was "bug.") I have submitted my
feedback as you suggested. I won't be holding my breath.

And I see now that that was your blog post. Gotta pay closer
attention there...

Don't despair. Send in your feedback! They do listen eventually. :)
