That how I've always seen it show up. It gives you the short name and then, in parens, the full address. For me, it would show up as something like

Wolfshadw (wolfshadw@tomshardware.com)

<--- Not an actual e-mail address for me.

I think the error is because of the wildcard asterisk. Attempting to send to a wildcard address would be like sending to:

ty0@hotmail.com
ty1@hotmail.com
ty2@hotmail.com
ty3@hotmail.com
ty4@hotmail.com
ty5@hotmail.com

ad infinitum

i think i sent an email to what i thought was a suspect adress to see if it was valid. but it was the postmaster microsoft service i think : ty@hotmail.com (ty@hotmail.com) - the asterix's used are covering up my email id and not part of my email id. but i wasnt sure if it was someone elses email breaching my security identity?!

as someone hacked my pc when i was gaming earlier in the month with remote viewing/controll.
Question : if someone was able to remote view my pc (this is my laptop btw) would they be able to see all my personal info etc and how could i disable people from doing this?

and thankyou people)

i see its just that the address assimilated into the add bar as though it had been regestired you know- with the avatar coloured circle that microsoft uses for i presume *regestired emails

i mean if i type this ( which is random) into email add tab : tyson(tyson59494955)@hotmail.com it doesnt recognise it.
but it did?

 

[Wolfshadw]

No. I just displays the short name if it recognizes the full name

Wolfshadw <---- Short Name
wolfshadw@tomshardware.com <---- Full name
