Address Book and Outgoing Names of Emails

[AlphaBovine]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: imap

I run a small business out of my home and therefore I don't like to use my real name or my employee's names to help protect identities and what not.
However Entourage has a band habit of replacing the names on emails sent with those in my Address Box.

Here is an example. Employee Jane Doe (her real name) sends her emails to me but in as her alias, Juliet. So far so good.

The problem is that if I turnaround and reply to the message or forward it onto anyone, the name that is in my contact list supplants her alias and anyone who receives the email after it has been through my INBOX sees her real name, Jane Doe instead of Juliet as she originally sent.

I hope that explanation makes sense. The bottom line question is there a way to stop Entourage from changing the names on emails when forwarding a received message back out without having to rename everyone in my contact list to an alias (which is not very efficient).

Thanks so much in advance!

This blog post of mine should explain what's happening:

"This bug is really a new feature in SP1"
