Expose the TO email address field rather than the display name.

[Gary H]

Is there a way to expose the TO email address field rather than the display
name so it may be used in the Outlook list view?

I came across this article that shows how to do it fot the FROM address and
would like to know if there is a way to use this technique for the TO field?

The purpose is that we have many users with multiple email addresses and we
would like to know which address the email was sent to. Outlook is being too
(or not too) smart here. There really should be two colume choices for TO
display name and TO email address.

AFAIK, its not possible for the To field - the address is in the header so
you could use rules to assign categories.

There is a script at http://www.vamsoft.com/tools.asp that stamps the
address in the header on incoming mail (for BCC and bulk mail).

Thanks Diane,

My customer also an iPhone syncing to Exchange. His iPhone displays the
actual to address and not the resolved Display Name. So, now he wants his
Outlook to do the same. Given that, I can assume Exchange does have the
actual TO address available and I can see it in the header. This is very
frustrating that a simple thing has been so elusive.
