I like to store my saved messages using the above option. By using this
(View / Arrange By / From) I can quickly refer to an e-mail without having
to search back through dozens of others filed chronologically.

The problem I have is that Outlook seems to store the messages under several
different headings. For instance, a message from John Smith can appear
under any of:

John Smith
Smith, John
'John Smith'

This is compunded when the same individual has more than one e-mail
address - this can double the number of options.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks.

Names do vary. If its all the same e-mail address, try using the e-mail
address.

How do I do that? There doesn't seem to be an option to arrange by e-mail
address (e-mail account, yes, but that's obviously totally different).

Set up a Custom filter for this mail folder. In Outlook 2003 click View |
Arrange By | Custom. Click the Filter button and enter the e-mail address
in the From field. You may want to experiement with the custom filters to
get the view you seek.

you can create a custom field for the from address - I forget if it's
groupable.
