I have been confounded by the way MSN has "redesigned" Hotmail to Outlook deleting SO MANY FEATURES.  Now it is IMPOSSIBLE to address an email unless you type in the name of the person you want to email.  In this case I NEED TO SCAN THROUGH my contact list as I compose it - as I have always been able to do in the past - while I pick each name that is relevant to this particular subject.  When I see the name I'll know whether or not to included them in the email.  I certainly DO NOT want to have to memorize EACH AND EVERY Name in my contact list just so I can add them to an email.

I NEED to send out an email to my local friends who have pets in order to warn them of a breaking news story that someone has left meat in the new dog park embedded with nails!!! I do not know off hand everyone who I need to send this too, but need to scan through my contacts alphabetically to ensure I don't miss anyone!  When I see their name I'll know whether to add them or not.  

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, RESET Email Addressing to allow access to ALL Contacts alphabetically without me having to type in each and every 26 letters of the alphabet which then brings up all names that contain that letter, not just the ones that start with, say, "A", "B", "C" etc. etc. which in and of itself is an INCREDIBLY USELESS way of having to address a group of people!
