New e-mail to contacts - showing names twice

When I select to write a new message to contacts each of
my contacts names appear twice in the list. The first
time their name appears it selects their e-mail address
and the second time it appears it selects their fax number.

Does anyone know how I can remove the second line - I am
not interested in seeing their fax numbers when I go to
write a new e-mail to my contacts - I only want to see
their e-mail address.

We do not have the ability to fax from our PC's.

Thanks
 
The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:
