Why are the display name and e-mail address combined when I respond to someone that is a Contact? This combination prevents me from having the correct address in the To Field, so I am unable to send the message.
 
Feel free to explain yourself a bit more on why you can't send. Also don't
forget to mention your version of Outlook.

Hi Roady, i believe i am experiencing same problem as kent. I am on outlook 2003. I am receiving my messages with no problem. The problem that i have is when I go and reply to my messages, it does not automatically retrieve the sender's email address. For example, I receive a message from "candy smith" displayed name, when i hit reply, the address still shows "candy smith" but does not capture candy smith's actual email addr. this is happening to all that are not in my address book. Pls help as i do not want ot have to add everyone i reply to into my address book. thank you. Eva

When you press Send on your reply does it go to the original sender then?
Although not visible the name is an e-mail address anyway.
