Is there a way to change the FROM field display name for e-mails I get?
Right now (e-mail address removed) shows up as being from (e-mail address removed) instead
of from Bob Jones. Bob Jones is in my address book and contacts, and
I've changed the display name to Bob Jones. Also I try to edit the
messages as they come in but when I change the display name the change
is never saved.

I'm using Outlook 2003.

Thanks.
 
I don't think you can change the From field since Outlook is showing what
came in the message itself with no regard to your address book, as far as I
know.

Vince has it correct. What you see int he From field is under control of
the sender, not the recipient.
