It wasn't a case of what I chose to do, but a case of what Outlook was programmed to do on my behalf without asking. I don't seem to be able to find a way of configuring this behaviour out of it either. Frustrating ? you bet ! Of course, I'm sure you attack everyone else who makes a similar innocent mistake, and would never reveal anyone's e-mail address in plain text yourself.
