Because in Microsoft's Outlook and Outlook Express, if a
user is in your addressbook and you send a message to that
user, only their friendly name ("Keith Moore") appears in
the "To:" line. You must click your mouse on the name to
see the user@host form of the name. The workaround is
to put [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the friendly name field so
that [EMAIL PROTECTED] displays in the "To:" line, which
is a more natural address for email for many, many
people.
