Working with Display Names

A

Ann

I'm using Entourage 2004.

Rather than creating individual contacts, I tend to use 'family' or
'couple' contacts (e.g., a single entry for my brother and his wife,
rather than one entry for my brother, one for his wife).

Here's my problem: If I put both their names in the first name field,
then both of their names show up as the display name. This is fine for
their personal email account, but if I want to send them an email at
work, it's displaying both of their names as the display name, and this
feels a little ... odd.

Is there a way to force the display name for a particular email
address? I thought I might be able to do it by entering the following
into the email address field:
"Mary Smith" <[email protected]>

But that just errors out OR sends a message to:
Mary and Bob Smith "Mary Smith" <[email protected]> (which then
reverts to Mary and Bob Smith when the message is sent).

Thanks for any suggestions!

Sorry, the only way to accomplish what you ask for would be to have separate
contacts for Mary & her husband.
