No, there isn't. Try using the new features: to compose a new
message, click the New button (or Ctrl-N or File > New > Mail
message) and just start typing the recipient's name. You should be
presented with a list of likely candidates, which gets shorter the
more you type. (If his name is Joe Czebrinski, typing 'Jo' will
bring up all your contacts called John and Joseph and Jonathan and
Josephine. 'Cz' will probably not bring up as many.) Just click on
the right one, and do the same again for more addressees. In time,
you'll find it's quicker than having that list on the left.

Your example is not correct.
Typing brings up a list of the typed letters in first name, last name,
display name, and email address.
The list will also have Jones, Johnson, joe1956@xxxxxx, john146@xxxxxx

Thanks, Ron. I wouldn't say 'incorrect', rather 'incomplete'. The
idea was to show that if you could remember a few letters of some of
the contact's details, the word wheel would find that contact. The
more unusual your search string, the fewer candidates presented. It
will also find matches in the domain name and in words in the Notes
field. Try it: putting in 'ms' will bring up all your contacts with
an MSN address. And if you put 'abc' in the Notes field for a
contact, 'ab' in the word wheel will find that contact (and any you
may have in the media). It's only strings at the beginning of the
term that count, though - 'bc' wouldn't find the contact with 'abc'
in the Notes field, nor would 'sn' find your MSN contacts.
