ID: Q178056

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, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Outlook Windows 95/98 client, versions 8.00, 8.01, 8.02, 8.03

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
