From field on consecutive emails from same person varies

I must have something set incorrectly because I can't believe that Microsoft would allow this
When I've received an email meesage from someone and I'm looking at the inbox I see that it's from (e-mail address removed)
Okay no prob
When I've responded to their message and then they send a new message to me it lists their "name" ie, Foo Barr in the From field and not "(e-mail address removed)" anymore

How can I fix this
I simply need the guys email address to always show in the From field
Any help would be apprecaited
Thanks.

You would do well to post your Outlook version.
Outlook shows the Display Name for any address it can resolve. If you want
to see a different display, change the Display Name field for that contact.

The version is Outlook 2000. the OS is Win2k, however, I'm switching to Outlook 2003 on an XP machine next week.

With a version as old as Outlook 2000, we'd need to know your mail support
mode as well.

Then you are out of luck. IMO provided no access to the Display Name field.
The full version of Outlook 2000 did and all current versions do.
