Differentiating between Contact types

In Outlook Contacts if you use it as an address book I notice people are
listed twice if they have fax numbers.
I am aware of the reasons why this is done, however in Outlook 2000 each
entry had either (email) or (fax) after the end so it was easy to choose the
correct one.
In Outlook XP however these labels are not shown so it makes it virtually
impossible to know which is the right entry to pick from the address list
when sending emails.
Is there no way of putting back the labels or is this a 'feature' of Outlook
XP? Seems a step backwards.
It is not practical to alter the fax number so it does not display as most
uses of huge amounts of contacts listed.

Outlook 2002 completely dropped the ball on this one. The only way you can
distinguish one address type from another is to use the horizontal scroll
bar to scroll over to see the actual address. It's an awful interface.
