Composing a new e-mail, I hit the "To" button, in order to add addresses to
the message. The mini-address book that comes up, however automatically
lists only names, and not e-mail addresses. So, for instance, I will have an
option of "Bob Smith (e-mail), Bob Smith (e-mail 2), Bob Smith (e-mail 3)"
etc, but nothing useful unless I check the address properties to see if I am
using their work or home e-mail. Any way to change the way this is displayed?
 
Only by editing the "Email Display As" field for each Contact you have.
 
And this is done how exactly?

Add the Email Display As field to a list view of your Contacts and edit it
there.
Or open each Contact record and double click the email address to bring up
the dialog that exposes the Display As field. --

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I must say, however, that the options for the contact management and view
are BRUTAL.

Of course they are. The Outlook Address Book was never intended for anything
but a simple list of email addresses so you can pick one while creating a
message. All sorting and filtering options exist in the Contacts Folders
where the data is actually stored, not in the address book view.
