Vista - Names only when sending e-mail/spell check

Names only when sending e-mail/spell check

How do you show ONLY the NAMES of those you are sending an e-mail to? I
don't want to have all of the individual addresses listed. Can you help?

I noticed that when you try to SPELL CHECK, it says something like No longer
available in this language. Any suggestions?

I've only had Windows Mail for one day, and it seems to be a little
frustrating...

Re: Names only when sending e-mail/spell check

1. Windows Mail will show both the contact name & the
contact email address. You can't change that.

If you send to multiple recipients, and don't want them to see each other's
email address, use the BCC: field. If you don't see the BCC field, in the
compose window,
click on View - Show All Headers.

If you used to put multiple email addresses in the To: or CC: fields in any
other email program, the recipients were able to see each other's address,
whether you saw it or not.

Windows Live Mail only shows the contact name, unless the contact has more
than one email address. The auto-complete works correctly also.

2. Try selecting another spelling language, then go back to the one you
want. This sometimes fixes it.

3. Windows Mail comes with Vista, but it has essentially been replaced with
Windows Live Mail. You may want to take a look at it.

Windows Mail shows both the name and email address of
recipients while you are composing the email. There is no
way to turn that off. If you upgrade to Windows Live Mail,
it will only show the email address if the recipient has
multiple email addresses. That way you can verify you have
picked the correct address choice.

See this fix for spell check problems:
