This is very good and we all thank you, but I'm afraid that the outlook
of the Outlook situation (pun intended) is bleak. The very reason
Outlook displays the pretty name is customer request, and delivering to
the customers what they want (no matter it's a good or bad idea) is what
made M$ successful.

I don't see a solution to it as of now, since millions would tell you
that it's a feature they want not a bug.

I don't know about Outlook Express (don't use it), but in Outlook 2000 what
happens is you see only the pretty name in the message list, but when you
open the message, you see both.  Also, it will display Sender too, so your
e-mail to the list is displayed as:

In terms of the 2822 identities, I don't think that's to bad.  I don't know
what newer versions do (won't be finding out either because of product
activation).
