Outlook doesn't always detect names or address book entries.

B

Babylon

For this example, I used a hotmail account, and a Lycos account. When
replying to the email sent from the hotmail account, the name used is
automatically detected, but when replying to the email sent from Lycos, the
name is not detected.

I tried this before both contacts had been added to my address book, and
after they had both been added
For more info, here's the screenshot:

I don't usually have a problem with the auto name detection regardless of
whether the sender is added in my address book or not (as it should be,
right?), but I've noticed this problem with any person I contact using Lycos
accounts, and I think a few others but I can't remember the name off hand.

So is this a bug? Why is it name detection never works from Lycos accounts
but works with nearly everyone else?
Using Outlook 2002 with all updates.

Here are the differences in the two email headers if that helps any:
