How to stop outlook from replacing email address with name?

[Guest]

Outlook automatically replaces actual email addresses with names. If I try
to copy the emaill address it just copies the name. Sometimes it it hides
the email address completely - I cannot see the email address anywhere, only
the name. How can I stop this annoying feature? Sometimes I want to see or
display an actual email address, not the name. Once it converts an email
address to a name I cannot unconvert it back to an email address, or
sometimes cannot disciver the actual email address. (Outlook 2003 SP2, but
this is true in all versions as far as I can tell.)

email address

Thank you dlw. I can indeed copy the actual email address from the
Properties window. It's a few extra annoying steps but I can live with it.
In general, all software should allow you to disable or enable any automatic
feature. Charlie

If this is on incoming messages, you don't get a choice. The sender
controls what you see in the From field.

If this is on a recipient list on messages you're sending, Outlook will use
whatever is in the Display As field in the Contact records for those people.
