Thanks, Milly. I didn't know that.

So what MS really needs to do is fix the Mail program so that it will
fax messages to people you select from the list.

Otherwise, what is the value of having that "virtual" view of valid
electronic addresses?

There is nothing to "fix." The Outlook Address Book is a "virtual" view of your contacts with valid electronic addresses, which means both email and fax.
