We send txt to cell phones from outlook, we have these cell users in our
contacts as well, (example: (E-Mail Removed)) is named JOE, when JOE
reply’s from his cell phone the FROM display name showing in outlook from the
cell phone shows numbers (example: (E-Mail Removed)) how can I make it
show the name JOE that I have for it in my contacts? or maybe some script
can compare it to a list in a file and then re-write the info to outlook.

Thanks

The Outlook mail.SenderName property is read-only in the Outlook object
model.

You would need to use a lower level API such as Redemption
(www.dimastr.com/redemption) or Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi only) to create
an item, copy the original to it and set whatever properties you want such
as PR_SENDER_NAME (this is low level stuff) and then save the item and
delete the original.

Any moderately advanced Outlook programmer could build code like that, but
this isn't the place to discuss that.
