address in TO line: show name instead of email address

When I compose a message in Outlook, the addresses in the TO line that I have
picked from a list are shown as email addresses. (For example I type "pat"
and push check names or send and the computer shows me various patricias and
pattersons for me to choose from.) I am used to and prefer the way they were
shown in Outlook Express, as the name associated with that email address.
Can I get Outlook to do this?

Some addresses are autocompleted and those show up as both name and address,
which is fine.

Using Outlook 2003, SP2.
 
You can change the Display Name to whatever you prefer in the Contact
Record's "Display As" field.
It's not of as much consequence as you think.
