Disabling Fax Number in Outlook Address Book

T

Trent Murray

How can I turn off the automatic feature that takes my
contacts with fax numbers and lists them in my Outlook
Address Book as an e-mail?

For many contacts I have two entries in the Outlook
Address Book--one for their e-mail address and one for
their fax number. However, when I go to send an e-mail
to both addresses (both e-mail & fax), it returns the one
sent to a fax number.

I want to disable this all together. Who ever sends an e-
mail to a fax number anyway?

Thanks!

Trent

You can't. Outlook treats it as an electronic address and lists it. Stupid
I think, but that's what it does. I put an alpha character (F in my case)
in front of the Fax number and then Outlook doesn't treat it as an
electronic address anymore.
