Vista - Exporting Individual Contact Groups

12-31-2007

I would like to suggest that you give Windows Mail the capability to export
individual contact groups. I am trying to set up an account with I Contact
and one of my groups has given permission to send them emails. The other
groups, about 400 among the 1900 email addresses are other contacts that
shouldn't receive these messages so when I export to a csv file I have to
sort through all the addresses like a maniac. Am I missing something or was
Microsoft not thinking of that with their export function?

At some point one has to point out that this is a basic, free email program.
If you need all the bells and whistles, there is Outlook.

And at some point, one must also point out that people pay good money for the
Microsoft Operating Sytems and shell out more money for the Office program.
Let's take my suggestion for what it is instead of an opportunity to promote
more ways to line the pockets of a multi billion dollar company
