their objective is you click on it.
i would normally hover over the name or address and see if it's legitimate before opening.
That's why I don't use Outlook or Outlook Execrable, never have "preview" mode enabled, and have all my clients (real and webmail) set to view plain-text only; let's see a virus slip past those settings.
