my contacts do not show up when i click on 'to' to send and email. when i
click on the 'to' button i get a select names dialogue box with a drop
down
for 'show names'. there are four address books in this d/down menu but
only
one has my contact and that is the one that gives contacts in my msn
address
book. when i go into view or change address books i can't find this. how
do i
get this address book to show up by default when i click the 'to' button
and
get rid of the others. Thank you in advence
