Outlook 2003 From: Field

[sun200806]

Is there any way to configure Outlook so that the From: field will display
the actual sender's email address and not what the sender has set to "Display
As"?

The reason I am asking is that I have been getting SPAM that looks like
email from Microsoft Canada, however when I veiw the header it is
actaully SPAM from From: "Microsoft Canada" <[email protected]>

Currently when email arrives from:
"Microsoft Canada" <[email protected]>
It looks identical to legit emails from:
"Microsoft Canada" <[email protected]>

This is not a problem to filter now that I am aware of it. But I get
several other newsletters from other popular sources too and I am afriad that
SPAMMERS will start using other popular newsletters to do the same thing. If
I can't control how my From: field is displayed, I have to check the header
of my messages everytime to make sure the sender is who they say they are.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, thanks Brian. If there in no way to configure the display of the From:
field. Does anyone have any suggestions for my problem? Besides opening the
email or viewing its header, I have no idea how to see the actual email
address being used.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

That's true for all emails. Right-click on the message in the list view and
select Message Options and that will show you all the internet headers...
