How do I edit autocomplete listings in Outlook?

I have addresses in my Outlook autocomplete listing that have odd display
names picked up from incoming emails. I can edit them, via properties, in
single instances for outgoing email, but the edit doesn't persist.

the autocomplete list is created from the display name on messages you reply
to or that are in your contacts. To edit it you need to use a 3rd party tool
or you can delete entries by selecting them with the arrow key and pressing
Del.

See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/nicknamecache.asp for tools to edit
it.
