How to translate xxx@xxx.com to the person's name

[Stuart253]

Hello,




Playing around with my address book. I know, leave what works alone, but I had to "improve" it.




When I receive an-email the "to address" does not translate to a person's name, the e-mail address is displayed. It use to show the name in "last, first" format. I wanted it to be displayed in "first last" format.




My address book shows the following:




Name Display name E-mail Address




Last, First First Last xxx@xxx.com




If I select and double click on the address entry, the following contact information is show:




Full Name Last, First




E-mail xxx@xxx.com




Display As First Last




I would like the Address book in Last, Fist name order and the e-mail addresss on the To, CC and BCC e-mail addresses to show as First Last.






Is this possible? If so, how do I accomplish it?




Thanks




Stu

THe display name is usually set by the sender, not the contact in your address book.




You can't have different display names - the address book and the email (when it uses the display name in contacts) use the same format.
