Creating new e-mail

[get-over-it-67]

eWhen using Windows XP, typing in the first 2-3 letters of an address enabled
the whole address to appear in th "TO" line of a new e-mail. With Vista, I
am having to type in the full address each time unless working from the
contact list. Addresses are not kept in the memory more than a few hours.
This means that each time I wish to forward an attachment, the whole e-mail
address has to be typed in letter for letter.
Do you have any suggestions?

Windows Mail doesn't use the contacts list for completing addresses.
Instead,
it uses a separate list of the last 29 addresses you sent messages to. This
list
is very hard to edit; it's easier just to send messages to the 29 addresses
you
want on the list.

If you'd rather use the contacts list, start a new message as usual, but
don't
type any part of the address. Instead, click on To:.

This limitation has been fixed in Windows Live Mail:

Thankyou so much....your suggestion was most helpful!

Since you received two separate responses, it is not clear which one
you are addressing. It is customary in newsgroups to 'reply' to and
quote the message being responded to.

Replying to your e-mail that "this limitation has been fixed" Gary,
I have not observed this to be true yet!

Have you tried the new Windows Live Mail program?
'New' is relative, it has been released since November, and
is billed by Microsoft as a replacement for Windows Mail.
