How to stop OL2000 from adding (E-mail) to name of recipient??

[Bo Berglund]

I had to rebuild a PC recently and then I reinstalled MSOffice 2000
with Outlook2000. I had saved my old PST and PAB files so I now
created profiles to use these old files.
When I started OL2000 for the first time it proposed that I should
switch to using Contacts instaed of the Personal Address Book, because
there were all kinds of advantages to it. So I accepted that OL2000
convert my old PAB into the Contacts folder.

Now when I send email and select recipients from the Contacts OL2000
always tacks on "(E-mail)" ate the end of the recipient name. This is
not wanted behaviour because it clutters the recipients and Cc line
and it looks plain ugly.

Is there a setting somewhere where it is possible to switch off this
stupid extra word? I don't mind if it is in the Registry as long as
OL2000 can stop adding the extra word to the recipient names:
Old recipient:
John Doe
New recipient:
John Doe (E-mail)

What are they trying to prove? I usually use an email program like
Outlook to send email, I would not even think about using it to send
normal ground based mail....

Any ideas?

The (email) designation following the address can not be removed through any
of the menu or options screens. There are ways to be rid of it however:

1. Go to contact folder. Choose contact by right clicking and select "New
message to Contact."
2. Modify the resources of the contab32.dll file. See:

Thanks!
I found a previous message after I sent the question out that directed
me to this link:
http://mars.superlink.net/~vince/ct2000.zip
It contains a patched version of the dll that purportedly should make
the (E-mail) disappear.
However, I tried this (found the original dll in system32) by renaming
the old dll and copying in the patched one. All of course with OL2000
not running. Then I tried to create a new email after restarting
OL2000 but the extra (E-mail) was still there...

Could it be because I have MS Office SR-1? But then again the existing
file contab32.dll was from Aug 1997 version 8.1.0.3820, whereas the
patched dll is dated Nov 1999 version 9.0.0.2625...

Any suggestions?

Sounds to me as if you replaced the wrong file. If you were using Outlook
2000, the version of the file you needed to replace should have started with
9.
