Expanding contacts in To: & cc: lists of sent messages

[John]

How do I tell Outlook 2003 to expand all contacts listed in the To: and cc:
fields so that a recepient can see all other recipient's full email addresses.

Thx for your help, -John

It expands once sent - nothing to do on your end.

Milly, I'm afraid it does not work that way for me. The only field that
includes the full email address in the received message is the From: field.
The To: and Cc: fields in the received msg only contain the name of the
recipient as specified you my Contact Properties "Display as:" field, and not
the email address w/i the parenthesis. The recipient can see the email
address in the received email by mousing over a recipient name,
right-clicking on the little circle in a square icon that appears and
selecting properties, but when my recipient goes to forward the email, the
forward copy only contains the name, no the email address, and the properties
box/circle is not available in the forwarded copy.

This means that recipients of forwarded emails can not then ascertain the
email address of other recipients on the forwarded address. This might be a
nice security option, but I would rather just use the Bcc: field whenever I
want to mask recipient info.

Hopefully there is a switch somewhere that will display the full recipient
email information in received messages. Maybe your switch is set differently
than mine.

Thank you for your help. -John
