yes,
Unless you have a terrible time remembering the names of these people, why 
not just use the method suggested earlier to make it a little more 
convenient for you?  Set Tools/Option/Send to complete an address when you 
begin typing it in the To, CC or BCC fields, and that's that.  this is how 
I've always addressed messages.  I just begin typing the name of the person 
in that field, and it's autocompleted for me, with the actual address 
underlying the name even though it doesn't show in the field.  Same for the 
other fields.  And if you want to send to more than one addressee in any of 
those fields, do the customary thing of separating the addresses names with 
a comma.

It seems that would be a nice, simple way to do this.  Do you feel you 
really need to refer to your address book at times like this?  If so, I can 
understand why you wanted this other method, but it doesn't work for me, 
either  But as I'm satisfied with my usual method, I'm not that 
disappointed, only puzzled.
sho.

Going to Jerry's idea
I am un able to get this to work now that I have tried it?  I liked the
idea, but when I try it I am unable to get the address to post to the
To field or CC field or BC field?
Any more ideas?
Dick
