Hi Bill! I also use Windows Live Mail and I can at least confirm the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C is the same to go to the contact list. Otherwise when composing a new message I usually just type some letters of the recipient's name, then shift+tab and come back and the rest comes up. Now I tried your way to select a contact and here it works fine so dunno what would be going on at your place. So for now try Ctrl+Shift+C to get into the contact list, select the one you want, go to the context menu and find "send email"; enter on this and that will open a window where you can start a new message to the selected contact. HTH, Martina

I'm not sure if you really meant Windows Mail or if you are referring to Windows Live Mail; they are certainly different animals. When I was using Windows Mail I could bring up a composition session, then go to the "Recipients" item under the "TOOLS" menu and select each and any entry in my Contacts. But when I try to go to "Select From Contacts" in Windows Live Mail I get a message from JAWS that this particular "TOOL" menu item is not available. ---- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net - "All men are frauds.
