It's completely automatic - as soon as you press Send, the display names are changed to the email address.ĭecember 4 2018: Updated macro to check for To, CC, and BCC and put the addresses in the correct field. If the recipient entry contains an sign, it's skipped (remove the If/End If lines if you use signs in display names). Before the message is sent, the macro changes display names to the underlying email address. This specific problem is easy to solve using an ItemSend macro. While newer versions of Outlook display the email address when you are composing mail, when the message is sent, only the display name is visible. Newer versions of Outlook will use Full Name as the display name format in Contacts but senders almost always use their name as the display name and don't include the email address. Outlook uses the display name in the To/CC/BCC fields, getting it from the message you are replying to, or from the Email Display Name field in Contacts.
