For all my contacts (“clients” actually in my case), I’ve filled out the Company field on the Contact form. I’ve also made sure that the Company name is included in the contact’s Display Name.

My aim for this was that I could reveal the Company name directly in my message list so I could directly recognize which company the sender is from.

However, although I can add the Company field to my message list, the field remains blank. Also, my chosen display name for the contact seems to be ignored.

Why is this being ignored and more importantly; How can I achieve what I want?
