Hi. I use Outlook 2003 in WinXP.

I have a contact in address book. When I send him an e-mail, in my Sent
Items his name in some e-mails appears like Alan Smith and in anothers like
'Alan Smith' separately. How can I make it just Alan Smith (without quotes).
The company doesn't use Exchange.

In address book Full Name and Display as are different - without quotes.

Thanks in advance.
EmilH.

Sorry I meant 'In address book Full Name and 'Display as' are same - without
quotes.' instead of 'In address book Full Name and Display as are
different - without quotes.'

If in Sent Items you see some messages to this person with his name in
apostrophes and some not, I suspect that the ones without are ones that you
initiated to him and that the ones with are ones in which you were replying
to messages he sent to you. Can you verify this? If so, then the issue is
caused because he's sending you messages that way, since he controls what
you'll see in the sender header. If not, there are a number of other
reasons why they might appear this way. In any event, it really doesn't
matter. It's completely cosmetic.

Thanks for responding, Brian. What if this is the case? How can I override
the sender's settings? How can I make all of them appear the same way?

You can't override the sender's settings.
