Why is addressing email in OL2002 all guesswork?

Using OL 2002
When trying to address outgoing email we do this:
1. click "To".
2. The OL Addressbook opens
3. I enter the person's name
4. I see two to six enteries for the person
5. I have no idea which entries are email or fax -- WHY?

In OL 98 each entry displayed "E-mail 1," or "E-mail 2," or "Fax 1" etc. In
2002 there is no such designation unless we scroll each entry far enough to
the right to discover if it's an E-mail address or a Fax number. Why would
the Microsoft programmers make it so bloody difficult to see the addresses?
Yes, I tried shifting the width of the address book columns but they return
to their default position on the next launch of OL.

If anyone at Microsoft is listening, this makes sense:
1. Make the address book window large enough that we can see the relevant
info.
2. ...or...Add a column to the far left containing a symbol that tells us
info, such as E1, E2, E3, F1, F2, F3

If there is a way to rectify the problem I'm having, and I've simply
overlooked it, please tell me. I'm giong nuts with this nonsensical quirk.
