no, I don't mind if my email is revealed.. just my name. I have
tried by removing it from the "User Name:" field in the email
account but it continues to show up. I have also removed from the
header information in the actual email but is is still there. I
should probably mention I am using a number of email acounts in
Outlook. also I'm using Outlook 2003 sp3


If Exchange is your mail server, your company can put whatever
headers they want in your outbound e-mails. They want you
identified because you are their representative in the e-mail. Talk
to your Exchange admins after contriving your arguments as to why
you don't want a name for the account through which you are sending
e-mails.


im a one man show here so im the guy to talk to...haha...but i don't
know how to do what u are talking about..


You didn't describe your e-mail setup, like to what type of e-mail
server to which you connect. So guessing that you couldn't change your
e-mail credentials because of using Exchange was one guess. Queries
lacking details get unfocused responses.

I would've said to blank out the Name field in the e-mail account
defined in Outlook but you said that you already tried that. What
happens when you put a non-blank string in the Name field but which is
different than what has been showing up when it was previously blank?

Are you sending your your ISP's SMTP mail host, or some free e-mail
service, like Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, etc.? You might want to check your
server-side settings on your account by using the webmail interface to
your account. Then go check what you specified for your name there. If
you send through their service (rather than using your ISP's mail host)
then maybe they are forcing the outbound e-mails to have whatever name
you configured in your account with them. Again, I'm guessing because I
don't know to whom you connect or what type of e-mail service (POP,
IMAP, HTTP, Exchange).
