    lost discussion posting-combined contact lists

    1) I posted a question June 5. Why do I not see it in th elist of posted
    questions on June 6? How do I find it and any answers?
    2) My question was, 'when I create a message and click on the "To" tab to
    choose recipients, I get a combination of contacts from 2 separate contact
    lists - mine and my wife's. How do I get only mine (or only my wifes, if she
    composes her own email)?
    Thanks
    Bobby

    1- apparently you are using the web interface to these newsgroup, and it's
    flaky.

    2- if you are both using WM from one Windows user login, all contacts,
    messages, etc. are lumped together. WM doesn't have the identities feature
    that OE had. IF you want to have separate contact lists, create & use 2
    windows user accounts.

    You might also want to download and install the free open source Mozilla
    Thunderbird e-mail client. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/
    Windows mail is going to be replaced with another program.
