Hi
I'm using O.2003

Inbox is displayed Surname,Forename & in Sent it's the other way around.

This makes it awkward for searching etc.

In the contact it's displayed Forename,Surname in all the boxes (Full
Name, File As, Display as)

Is there a way to change this so both future incoming & already received
emails are display as I want?

Cheers
Dave F.

No, because the sender -- not you -- controls what display name you see in the Inbox.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

That's a load of bobbins isn't it?
Surely _I_ should be allowed to decide how I store/sort _my_ emails.

And i thought O. was meant to be getting more user friendly. Oh well.

Cheers
