I've seen this behavior also when I've replied to someone via a web-page E-mail interface, where they don't have access to display name info. But I'd bet that the lack of display name info is the reason, whatever the cause of it, and there is nothing Entourage can do differently in displaying the attribution line. One of us could probably whip up a script that would grab the E-mail address for an incoming message, check the Address Book to see if it is listed there with a display name, and if so, then replaces the sender of the incoming message with complete display name/address info. But is it really worth all that trouble just to get a name into the attribution line? Maybe what is wanted is just a script called "who is" that looks up a selected E-mail address in the address book and returns display name in the clipboard and/or a dialog. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
