OK Gang, Who out there knows how to efficiently/conveniently access the local Contacts (the ones in the Contacts folder of your PC) for selecting as addressees when composing e-mail messages and using JAWS?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessing Local Contacts Via Windows Live Mail
If you're using Windows Vista and Windows mail, I'm pretty sure the command is control plus shift plus C when you're focused on your inbox. This should place you in your contacts list. When you locate the contact you want to email, go to the file menu, then new, then message, and press enter. This may not be the most efficient way to do this, but it's the only way I know of right now. Hope it helps.

Thank you Deanne for trying to answer my question. 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.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessing Local Contacts Via Windows Live Mail
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.
