With XP once you entered the first or second letter of the a name in your
contact group it displayed a whole name for you to choose. Vista doesn't
seem to do this or am I missing something?
 
That is known as the auto-complete function.
Windows Mail does not auto-complete from your contacts.
It uses a separate list of the last 29 recipients you've sent mail to.

The auto-complete feature works perfectly in the replacement
program, Windows Live Mail, which uses the standard contacts list
for auto-completion.
You are encouraged to upgrade to the newer WLM program:

That link works for me, but here are some alternates:
