also...what is still baffling me is that regardless of how it may or may not
resolve the address through the MAPI address book...when the contact is added
to the OUTLOOK ADDRESS BOOK......with all the appropriate data in the right
places....and then the contact is added to teh message from the OUTLOOK
address book....it still doesn't resolve it appropriately.

????

seems weird to me....

i guess it is equally odd....that it can't resolve a "reply-to" address
directly from a message when replying (if it came through the MAPI server)
