Is there ANY way to stop the 'To' field from expanding the addy?

I know you can put a name in the cc'ed area to stop the 'to' from
populating...however if you want a 'dumby' name to show up in that
field...how do you make that happen??

Create a Contact that has your own email address. Change the Email Display
As field to the name you want to appear in the To: field.

Thanks Russ but I've tried that and the name still expands to show the email
address not just the 'nick name'.

Not here. There is nothing to "expand." I don't understand why would you
care. Certainly you are not trying to hide your own address, right?

No I'm not trying to hide my own address it was more to make group emailings
seem more personal. With Eudora (I know...old software) you were able to use
a nickname and therefore all the recipients wouldn't see who was being
emailed and you could still use a 'nick name' to make it more 'personal' in
the To: field.

I just wanted to be sure that you could not, with Outlook, be able to do
what was done in Eudora. Basically have more confidence in my answer to the
people asking me the question.

Thanks for your help!

Well the method I posted has worked for everyone else I know. Are you
certain you changed the Email Display As field of the Contact?
