resolving sendername of old messages

S

Sjoerdje

I want to change the senders information of old messages. Some of these
old messages have senders of which the properties only contains a x.500
address in de displayname field (this is the behaviour after a
migration, for those message that originated from global recipients in
the address list).
The problem is that for the sender there is now a real mbx in place,
but the old messages of the receiver aren't rematched again. And so
even a reply fails because that reply uses directly the x500 entry
(what isn't valid) and doesn't recheck the displayed name (what is show
underlined).
I was wondering if some of the following ideas are possible with vba in
outlook (2002):

1) run a script that forces to do a checknames to execute on every
message
2) use a script to do something with item save and checkname of a
readmessages.
3) set something that forces outlook to recheck name before placing
that underline displayname in the reply message.
4) anything else?

Many thanks for any help,

Sjoerd van der Klaauw
