When I create a contact in Outlook 2007, the "display name as" field ALWAYS
includes the email address, which I must manually delete in that field. Is
there a way to prevent the inclusion of the email address?

No. You cannot configure the default format of the Email Display As field.
Nor is there any reason to. What makes you feel you need to?

Because when I send an email, the name would include the email address in the
header - and when I send to multiple addressees, I'd rather not include their
email address without their permission.

Doesn't matter. The header still includes the email address no matter what
you do to the EDA field. That's why there is never any need to change that
field. If you want to hide email addresses when sending to multiple
recipients, you use the BCC field.

What about the other way around? Is there a way to include the email
address after it has been removed? (Doesn't an Exchange Server not
include the email address by default?)
