This is a regressive, 'by design' feature in WM.

WM uses a separate list of the previous 29 addresses that you previously
typed in, they are stored in the Registry.

The best way to access all your contacts is to click on the To: in a new
mail window.

Thanks for the reply Mac, that explains alot, so is this to say that the
email addresses get tacked onto the list as they are used and dropped off the
other end when the 29 addresses are used?
