I think this whole discussion is for nothing.
Considering that rarely people put their address as pretty name you can
allready prefilter emails as spam which have a valid email address as
pretty name.
Maybe you can even consider to mark everything as SPAM which has an @ in
the pretty name.
Or you compare pretty name with addresss when pretty name is a valid
email address.
It think this pretty name discussion should be placed somewhere in a
SPAM Filter forum
and not in a SenderID Forum.

Carl Hutzler is the display name or pretty name. We do
not display
the pretty name in our AOL clients. Never have.
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).
