contact e-mail address

[Kevin]

My contact e-mail address shows the correct e-mail address for a friend but
when I try to send an e-mail it misses out one letter from his e-mail
address. I have tried to delete and re insert and I have taken the correct
e-mail address from the sender but it still misses out the same letter from
his e-mail address.

Is the missing letter at the beginning or at the end?
Perhaps one of the characters is a space or another illegal character.
With a few exceptions, only alpha-numeric characters can be used.

The omitted letter is always the last letter of the contacts first name ie
the d in ronald. The equivalent of the 'n' in my e-mail address. I have
populated the contact addresses file from my friends own e-mail to me so I am
not sure how it can contain anything 'illegal'.

Is your email to your friend rejected because of the missing letter?
If not, then just use the shortened contact name.
If it is, create a new contact by typing in his email address instead
of importing it from his email, then try using your new contact
address to send a message. If it gets through, it means your
friend has a hidden illegal character in his return email address.

Good luck.

When you send email to this friend, do you obtain the recipient's email
address from your Contacts file? Sometimes a 'space' character can
be hard to spot. I suggest you go into that contact's entry and delete
his email address, then retype it by hand.
