Ambiguous?  A person's name is not the same as their email address.  I have
the same question.  Can you have a person's name show up as well as their
email address when you use an alias to send mail to multiple addresses from
the web-based mail client?  Is there a way to have people's names show up
with their email addresses when using mailing lists?  For example,

To: Jeff Pitoniak [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]; Len Conrad
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]; Ron Hornbaker [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]; John Doe
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

The Imail web interface does not currently support an email address book
with distribution lists.  The "work-around" is to use aliases to define
create a group of addresses to send to.  Which to me seems a little
inconvenient considering that practically everyone that uses email to any
great extent uses groups or distribution lists.  This is a very common
complaint that I have from my end users.  Just about every mail client in
existence supports this.  I am currently using Imail 7.0.4/KWM 2.0.7.  I
realize this seems kind of a non-issue from a systems administration
standpoint, from an end-users standpoint it is a rough spot.  The web
interface simplifies support, but end-users have to buy-in to the idea if
you want to get rid of 0utlook.

Best regards,
Jeff

If a user subs to a list with an alias, his alias will be the email address
to which the list is delivered.

or,

Rephrase your question, it's ambiguous.
