Alter "Select Names" list for new email

[Guest]

Outlook 2003 (Office XP)
When composing a new email (from the Outlook Inbox), is there a way to get
the contacts listed in the Select Names list (by clicking on the "To:"
button) to display the "Display As" feild from the contacts form rastaher
than the "File As" field?
I have multiple email addresses for a number of clients and would like to
list them by the "Display As" email field rather than the "File As" name of
the contact.
As it is, there are identicle multiple listings for each contact (one for
each email address in that record) and I can't tell which address will be
used until I add them to the "Add Recipients" list.
ALSO, I would like to display ONLY contacts with email addresses (in that
same window). As it is now, it lists a lot of contacts who have no email
address at all.
Thanks
Jeff

No. The only configuration you can change in the Outlook Address Book is to
sort by "First, Last" or by "File As"

No, not at all. The Outlook Address Book was never designed to be the
preferred view for recipient selection. All development has gone into
Contacts Folders. Those views can be filtered and sorted in more ways than
you could ever want.

Sad (
You'd think, being displayed from the email window, it would have those
filters built in.
Oh, well... thanks for the info
Is there any difference in this respect in Outlook 2007?

No. The only configuration you can change in the Outlook Address Book is
to
sort by "First, Last" or by "File As"
