I have figured out a way to pick and choose the names within a contact folder
without using Windows Live (which only lets you opt out of the lists of
names, not opt in, which is a pain when the folder has 100 names in it).
Launch Contacts; choose the folder with the names in it that make up the
folder. While using the Control Key pick and choose the names you want the
message to go to and right click any one of them. Choose Action/send email.
Only the names selected will get the email message.
