Re: windows contacts versus live mail contacts?

I have a question somewhat related to this. I'm trying to help a friend but
do not se Windows Mail nor Vista. I'm still on XP.

Anyway, when they go to create a new Email they do not see a list of
Contacts within the Message area. They can find an Address Book, but that's a
second window.

Is there a readily-accessible Contacts List directly within the Message
window?

Or can they click on the "To:" icon to bring it up?
How do they pul an address from their Address Book into the To: entry line?

Thanks,

Guy Owen
