I will admit that the downside is "my" problem.  The problem being I live in Taiwan
and have been working in Asia for many years.  So, I communicate with Chinese,
Taiwanese, and Koreans.  They have this habit of using their real names in their
emails 김병협, 楊秀茵, 石川, etc.  So, I have them in my address book with a "Display
Name" so I don't have to think so much.

Now, if that setting can be on a per-folder basis it would be OK.  But I don't think
it is....or maybe I've not looked hard enough.
