Can I display names without address in "to box" in Vista mail

[Denise]

I really do not like sending e-mail addresses in my To line. I used to just
use a nickname with the XP edition and would like to do the same with Vista.
Is this possible?

Mail without the address in it is going to won't arrive. Outlook Express
lets you
hide this address, but Windows Mail won't. Whether the addressee can
see the address depends on what email program they are using, not what
email program you send email with.

You might want to click on View in a new message box, then All Headers,
then put the address on the Bcc: line instead. Then the email will still
arrive, but if you send to more than person at a time, each addressee
will get only his or her address attached to his or her copy of the
message.

Good question, I would like to do the same, just send my name. How do you
switch it around so when you send and people receive the e-mail they only
see your name, and not your address. Will help with anonymity also.

Thanks

What actually gets sent out is the same as what OE would have sent.
The email addresses are always there; whether they get displayed or
not to the recipient is up to the email program used by the recipient.

Many ISPs (AOL for example) will not allow you to send email
with a missing, forged or invalid email address.

Many ISPs (AOL for example) will not allow you to send email
with a missing, forged or invalid email address.

And other servers will delete them upon receipt so they never get to the
customer.

The question I think is this.
In xp one can send email To:john,betty,hellen,david

In vista it goes To:john<[email protected]>,betty<[email protected]>,hellen<[email protected]>,david<[email protected]>

MY question is is there a way not to show the email addresses with the names in the TO box like it used to be in XP.

It's not Vista's doing, it is Windows Mail.
If you only want to see the name, upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

I suggest you do not address questions to a specific responder.

He's telling St. Peter to uninstall CrashGuard now.

Afterwards, he steps just outside the Pearly Gates (probably with St. Peter
in tow) to have a cup of coffee and a cig.

Yes, I'm sorry to say.

Is this true? Frank Saunders passed away?
(Checked the MVP site, didn't see anything).
