Typeful distinguished name in address bar

For some reason just recently, when I allow Outlook 2003 to auto-complete the
addresses of internal recipients that I am sending email to, it is placing the
typeful distinguished name (ex.: o=organization.cn=container.cn=username) in
the "To" box instead of the simple common name ("username"). If I remove
everything except the common name by highlighting and deleting the context, the
email goes through fine. I am just wondering why it decided not to just fill in
with the common name. I can`t find a setting to tell Outlook which one to use.
I would imagine it would get quite confusing with 10 recipients in the "To" box
with the complete distinguished name. Any ideas?

Does it do this as it's autosuggesting or when you resolve the name (i.e.,
with CTRL-K)?

The you can remove the suggestion by highlighting it using the arrow keys
and pressing Delete. The next time you resolve the address you input, the
correct resolution should appear.
