Whoops, I was wrong, that didn't really solve it.
If I create a reply, then the "to" property, once again, contains the NAME rather than the email address... if the original email came in with NAME instead of email address.

I can't find the email address anywhere.

Can anyone explain further?
Thanks,
Joel Aiken
