Outlook 2002 would some times force resolve the email address for some one in your address book that has 2 email address based on what you use the most. Type in a preferred email address and it resolves to the other one on file. Really wierd.</p> Nice Post.

Or at least that should be an option. Furthermore, these fields should require some user acknowledgment from the user (a simple click in the text box) to guarantee that the user has at least looked at it, only after that the Send button would be enabled.
