Gary,
The thing is though that they didnt have to remove it completely, they could
have just had it hidden by default and then we could have been able to go
into the layout menu and re enable it again if we wanted to use it. But they
didnt do that.
As far as the reccomended way, thats pretty much the only (easiest) way that
i have found to send a new email. Double clicking on the contact name from
the Contact List that was on the left side was much easier that the method
you mention.
