Mail header

[filip]

Until few days ago when I received messages in which the "from" field, in
the e-mail header. looked like this
From: "Luisa T.B. \(CIMPA\)" <[email protected]>
in outlook it displayed "Luisa T.B. (CIMPA)", but recently it just writes
CIMPA. I thought it was Outlook,
maybe some patch or something, but older e-mails still display correctly
(Luisa T.B.).
Allso I think it could be an Exchange issue, when I look at the mails in
OWA, mails allso display incorrectly the "from" field
from recently, older mails look fine.

It sounds like something on the server changed. did you ask your admin about
it?

Sounds to me like the sender changed the "Your Name" field of her account on
her PC.

I dont thiks so, because the header in the e-mail is the same (From: "Luisa
T.B. \(CIMPA\)")in all of the e-mails, it hasn't changed, just that outlook
is not writing it out as it should, allso OWA on exchange, so i think
something on exchange is the problem.
I can't trace what happend on the exchange server in the mean time. What
could i look on exchange to
see how it renders the "From" in the e-mail header?

look at the display names in active directory.

Then you're asking in the wrong newsgroup. For OWA questions, ask in
microsoft.public.exchange.clients, because OWA is an Exchange feature and
itsn't part of Outlook.
