Action: Send email???

Using Windows Mail and the contacts folder is a little frustrating. I recall with XP, we had our contacts down in the lower left panel of our screen. All we had to do was double click on one to begin composing an email to that person. NOW with Windows Mail, you have to right-click the contact > Action > Send email. Is there no shortcut or easier way to do this?!?!? PLEASE HELP!!!

Microsoft recommends you do it like this:
Click "Create Mail."
Click "To:" and select recipient.

The normal way is to click on Create Mail, then on To:
and select from your contacts.

Or switch to the newer Windows Live Mail, which auto-completes from your
contacts.
