E-mail button missing from contacts menu bar

[Guest]

I have entered all my addresses in contacts but the E-mail button has
disappeared. Along the top I've got Organize, Views, Newcontact, New contact
group, Import, Export.
Ive tried right click . . customize folder . . contacts . . apply . .ok . .
.. . No good!
I've deleted the contacts folder and restarted mail. . . . No good!
I cannot use the contacts to write a new mail, I have to go . . Create new
mail . . but when I click on the To: button (to get list of recipients) its
empty, even though I have 50 odd addresses in it.
All help much appreciated, I'm getting nowhere.

Quite right - You will find that when you go into "Contacts", there is NO
E-Mail button.
HOWEVER - once you select a contact - the E-Mail button (plus other options)
appear - magic !!

Thank you Parvaiz . . you are right. . . Also I discovered that I had not put
my addresses into the contacts list correctly, I had copied and pasted, . .
when I followed the 'add to contacts' protocol correctly all was well . . .
