Say my name...
Would you like to change how your name is displayed in the inboxs of the people you send messages to? For example... "Alan Lepofsky" or "alan_lepofsky", or even "Lotus Guy".
The way you control this is via your location document. At the bottom right corner of Lotus Notes, click on the Location bar, and choose "Edit Current..."
Then on the Basics tab, look at the "Internet mail address" field.
If you have just an email address, such as alan_lepofsky@us.ibm.com, most email clients will display the value to the left of the "@" symbol. You can control what is displayed by entering your email as
"the nickname you want" <youremail>. Make sure to put in the quotes and <>.
Note: Some companies may control this field at the administration level, so your changes may be overwritten.
UPDATE: Thomas Adrian explains how this can be setup at the Admin level here.
