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
This does not resolve the problem for many users of Outlook:
Often users enable the "preview" pane so they never even have to open the
email in order to
read it,
just select it and then read in the preview pane and delete or respond
directly.
That's true, but the Sender is displayed in the preview pane.
Not to say Outlook is perfect. I think there is legitimate concern. At
the very least, even users not able to decode the header should be trained
to open any suspicious message. Of course that has its own risks if
security settings aren't suffiently paranoid.
