Can you hide the Address Name in your outgoing e-mails?

Post by peterinwa »

Can I hide the Address Names that I create in my Address Book in my outgoing e-mails so that the recipients don't see them?

I use them for notes. For example, instead of the Address Name for JohnDoe@whatever.com appearing in my Address Book as John Doe, it might appear as Mem17 John Doe (Jane).

This tells me they've paid their membership dues for 2017, and they have a spouse name Jane. I know I can store this in my address book under Other, but I want to see it when I enter an address or receive an e-mail from someone in my Address Book.

Can I hide this and only have the recipient of my e-mails see JohnDoe@whatever.com?

Thank you,

Peter
