When I send emails to several contacts, all their email
addresses show up. I used to have Outlook 200o and it
would only shoe the name I had each contact listed as, not
their email address. How can I hid their email addresses
from showing up in the "To" field?

So what version are you using now? Why are you convinced you need to "hide"
the email address?

Russ, unlike anonymous, I am using outlook 2000 and I would like to do the
opposite: show the email address not the name. Any way to do that?

Only by changing each display name individually, and that is possible only
in Corp/Workgroup mode, not Internet Mail Only.

Outlook 2002 updated - 27 Jan 2004 00:51 GMT

I also have upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook XP and noticed the same thing happen........why are the email addresses showing up now but never used to in Outlook 2000? is there a way to 'hide' these email address but keep the names of the recipients (so they are anonymous)....since we have a private list.....we want to keep it that way, but if we send out board members personal email addresses....it is most likely a bad thing to do!

Outlook 2000 used the familiar name as the Display Name. Outlook 2002 uses
both the familiar name and the email address as the Display Name. You are
mistaken if you think there is a consequence to this change. In neither case
were the actual email addresses ever hidden. The only way you can hide the
email address is to use the BCC field.
