This is an all-or-nothing-at-all thing and will affect all mail. Either
change the display name for the mailbox you're using to
jdoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (& change your OL profile by modifying the Exchange
properties or it will cache the old display name) so that it sends out that
way - or follow the suggestion in the other reply.

Personally, I wouldn't do this at all. The recipient will be able to see the
SMTP address of the sender if they look at the properties of the sender
name, depending on the mail client (most work that way). I'd rather see
Lastname, Firstname in a message I receive than the SMTP address.
