The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, versions 4.0 and 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0 and 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0 and 5.0

  • Microsoft Outlook 97 version 8.02 (Exchange 5.0 SP1 version)

SUMMARY

Microsoft Exchange and Outlook clients now support the additional RFC822 one-off addresses in the following forms: 

   John Smith <JSMITH@XYZ.COM>
   John Smith <"<John>Smith"@XYZ.COM>
   <JSMITH@XYZ.COM>

MORE INFORMATION

These additional addressing forms are only available as one-off addresses. PAB SMTP addresses still need to be entered as follows: 

   Display Name:  John Smith
   Email Address: JSMITH@XYZ.COM
The new SMTP parsing code is only invoked when an SMTP address has been entered as a one-off on the "TO" line and a "check names" is performed.

When a one-off address similar to: 

   John Smith <JSMITH@XYZ.COM>
has been entered on the "TO" line, the one-off address will be parsed as follows: 

   Display Name: John Smith <JSMITH@XYZ.COM>
   Email Address: JSMITH@XYZ.COM
   Address Type: SMTP

STATUS

This feature has been added in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
