Outlook 2003 -Contacts/Names in Distribution Lists

[Laurey]

I'm using Outlook 2003 Pro w/ windows XP. Every time I set up a new
distribution list I type in the name and email of each person in the list.
Then when I go back into it later, the names have reverted to email
addresses. In other words, I double click on the list and I see two columns,
one headed "names" and the other column "email", but both columns have the
same list of email addresses and no names. I have gone back in to edit the
list and change them back to list the names but they always revert to the
email addresses even after I save and close. This is making me crazy! Help.

Cannot reproduce the behavior.
Provide more precise steps, including format of the email address and
address type.
