Windows Mail / Outlook Express

In Outlook Express, when I forwarded mail, I had all my contacts separated
into groups that I could access and either choose 1 or 2 people or select all
of them in each group. I might have contacts in two or more groups and that
was fine.

In Windows Mail I have folders set up with my groups in them, however I
can't find a way, when I am forwarding. to choose just one group. Also if I
have contacts in more than one group/folder in Windows Mail, I have double or
triple names in the forwarding list. I understand about setting up mailing
list groups, but that will not allow me to just select 1 or 2 people out of
the mailing list.

Does anyone know of a way that I can re-create my groups as I had them in
Outlook Express?

Re: Windows Mail / Outlook Express

In WM, the only way to selectively edit a group after you add it to the To:
field, is to save the message as a draft, then re-open it. Then you can
remove unwanted recipients.

The newer Windows Live Mail allows you to expand the group list, after
adding it to the To: field, so you can remove recipients.

But I don't think either works like OE did.
