Can "To" field in Inbox show contact name instead of email address

[Lee M.]

Is there a way to have the "To" field in the Outlook 2007 inbox display the
contact name instead of the email address? The "From" field displays the
contact name but not the "To" field. I've looked in Help and done some
Google searches but haven't found a way to do this.

Thanks.

The "To: field" contains whatever you put there. How can we answer your
question when we have no idea which method you are using to populate your
To: field?

The "To" field is the recipient of the email. IOW, if an email comes to my
email address, I would like it to display my name as I identified it when
setting up that address. This is what is displayed in the "From" field but
in the "To" field, it always shows the actual email address instead of the
name assigned to that address.

So if I set up my email as (e-mail address removed) and set the Display As field to
Joe Blow, I would like the "To" field in the Inbox to read Joe Blow, not
(e-mail address removed).

Completely opaque. There are To: fields in all types of messages and all
types of view. You still failed to state to which message type and to which
view you are referring. If it is a received message, that format is
determined by the sender, not the recipient.

I don't know what you're talking about but your last sentence answered my
question.
