In Outlook 2000 when you send a new mail message and click on the TO button and select Contacts. How do you make just one SMTP address appear. In Contacts we have multiple SMTP address per Contact but we just want the first SMTP address to appear inthe address list. With multiple SMTP addresses appearing it looks like duplicate addresses and users get confused on which address to use to send the mail message.

Unfortunately I don't believe there is any way to solve that - if the contact item has multiple SMTP addresses it's going to show all of them.

Makes sense if you think about it; why bother entering multiple e-mail addresses if Outlook wasn't going to let you select from them?

The only workaround I can think of is to only enter one e-mail address in the e-mail addresses field. If there are add'l e-mail addresses for that contact type them in the Notes field below.
