I'm using Outlook Express 6, and use nicknames for my e-
mail addresses. However, they are not working the way I'd
like. For example, to send a message from my home to work
account, I type "work" in the To line, which is the
nickname I have specified for that address. But when I
try to send it, a box comes up asking which account I
want to send to, not only displaying my work account but
also the name of another contact, whose last name happens
to be Work. That contact does not even have a nickname,
and his name never appears in the autofill unless I start
typing his FIRST name, as it should.

I have another account set up that uses my workplace
acronym for the nickname. But when I type that, up pops a
box with all of the addresses that contain that acronym
as part of their domain name. Should nicknames be this
particular to use? Is there some way around this without
having to trial-and-error find a nickname that doesn't
match a part of another contact's real name or e-mail
address?

Thank you.
