SUMMARY
When you are creating multiple Distribution Lists (DLs) or user mailboxes
with prefixes or names that contain a hyphen, a mail client address search
will not recognize the hyphen. For example, this would occur with the
prefixes XX-, JA-, or a name such as Mary-Anne.
MORE INFORMATION
The hyphen is ignored in address searches, so searches on "ja-" or
"Mary-Anne" return every James and Jane or MaryA in the address book. This
can be problem for international users, any names that are hyphenated,
and distribution lists that contain a hyphen. An address search recognizes
the slash mark (/) and the underscore (_), characters but does not
recognize the hyphen.
