The ONLY way that your Address Book comes into it is if you see that the
email is directed to someone with the little contact icon (the little stick
man) in the To header of your own new message. that way you know it's going
to the right person of that name or address. But it has nothing to do with
the attribution line in replies. That is related to the headers only.

It had a From line with both display name and <address> so it was correct.

It wasn't actually WRONG, since there's no display name, all it can do is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

That wasn't wrong either. Since she doesn't list a display name in her own
outgoing email program, the email address was recorded as her display name
in her own outgoing email. So your reply is actually 100% CORRECT. How in
the world is Entourage supposed to know that's not her real name if that's
how she lists it? (In Entourage, every account you have asks you for your
display name. In her own email program it probably does too, only she left
her preferences blank or couldn't be bothered to fill it out. Or just maybe
she was writing from a web browser or something basic like that.)

That's odder, especially since the display name correctly has quotes around
it , as it should when there's punctuation. perhaps Entourage is being
careful, and is suspicious of a so-called name that has a period in it. or
more likely it's to do with length: that email address is so long that with
the name as well it might exceed some length. But i don't really know., That
one should have ad both name and address. Its got nothing to do with the
Address Book.

Proper name and address again. The only odd one in the bunch is no.5. was
that a private email? The reason why my name and address came out wrong
(last message) was because it was from a mailing list.
