Windows Live Mail’s Contacts list is not displaying all Contact data.

Windows Live Mail's Contacts list is not displaying all Contact data. For instance, the contacts I imported from XP's Address Book (the .wab file) contain data in the "Middle Name" field. I can see this data in WLM when I Edit a particular contact. However, Windows Live Mail does not allow me to include the "Middle Name" field as a column in its Contacts list display. ("Middle Name" is not listed as one of the fields that can be added on the "Add columns" dialog in WLM Contacts list display.)

I will be happy to send you screen shots of this problem if you will be kind enough to tell me to whom to send them.

I have 2016 Contacts on Windows Live Mail (Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3528.0331)

Is there a work-around" for this problem?

I have found problems similar to this being reported on OutLook since August 2012. How long does it take to get something simple like this fixed?

Thanks,

PS: Please don't apologize for the inconvenience this is causing me. Just tell me how to fix or get a fix for this problem from Microsoft. Thank you.
