Windows Vista Mail

[jmacjmac2x]

Using Vista, Windows Mail, the program does not always insert the name of an
addressee when starting a new E-mail or when forwarding an e-mail message
afterr typing the initial characters of the addressee's name. The proper
settings are checked for this to work in Tools|Options|Send. About fifty
percent of the time the problem arises. Also, when clicking on To: in the
contact list, then OK, the selected address does not always move to the
message recipients list; double clicking does work however. Does this mean
Windows Mail is corrupted? Anything else causing the problem. Using a four
month old Compaq Presario Notebook PC, otherwise working properly.

The auto-completion of a recipient after typing a few characters has
never worked very well in Windows Mail. If that feature is important to
you, it works perfectly in the newer Windows Live Mail, an easy
upgrade: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

Before clicking OK, you must click the To, CC, or BCC button.
Otherwise the program doesn't know which address line to put that
recipient on.
