When I start an email and I choose a name from my address book, it displays the name AND the email address of the recipient. When sending to multiple people, it shows everyone's name AND their email address. Is there a setting where I can choose a name and NOT have the email address appear for everyone to see? Using BCC would be one way but I would rather just have it display the name or nickname of the people. That way I am not sharing email addresses with people who don't need to have access to them.

Thanks for your help

There is a tickbox in tools>settings>general that allows showing just name for people in your addressbook.
