I have Outlook 2003 and Windows XP. When I type part of an address into a
new message, I get a selection of autocompleted nicknames as I type. If I
select from that list, I sometimes get the nickname + e-mail address. For
example, if I address a message to Dave Jones, I get "Dave Jones
)" in the address line, instead of just the
nickname. I have always entered contact information in the "Display as:"
field with the nickname only. I do not want people's e-mail addresses to be
listed in the address field.

I can occasionally force Outlook to use the nickname only, if I delete the
contact and then make a new contact with the same information. Once I send
a new e-mail message to that recipient, the next message using autocomplete
typically shows the nickname only. However, that fix doesn't hold for long,
and the e-mail address starts popping up in autocomplete selections again.

I browsed to the Nickname and AutoComplete cache and renamed it from
Outlook.NK2 to Outlook.old. That did rebuild the cache; but, the
autocomplete problem returned. Can you provide a fix for this issue? If
not, can you provide a better description of it, so I can search for
solutions on the Internet?
