Re: Names appearing with unwanted single quotes
Danielle Ricci
In the To feild you enter 12345789123@ and the vitual fax company your using which sends an email to that company to send the fax out fo the server, when the quotes are added its not a valid request since the fax number cannot be '12345789123 therefore failing the fax.
There has to be a way to fix this or turn it off since Outlook is the one adding them.
