I came across a couple of interesting situations in Windows Mail this
morning that I think are rather serious shortcomings:

1. In sending out mail to a couple of dozen friends I was told that not all
of them wanted (or were set up, I guess) to receive HTML mail but rather
plain text. I thought this strange but had a look - a simple thing to
determine in Outlook Express. But wait a minute - nowhere could I find any
option for individual contacts in my Address Book to select whether they
wanted HTML or Plain Text. So I guess my question is how are some of the
contacts in my Address Book complaining to the system when I try to send
them HTML? Am I missing something?

2. Okay, here's the second problem. I have set up my address book, or at
least tried to, the same as I had it set up under Outlook Express. First of
all I was very disappointed to find I could not. First I set up my
most-used Contacts in the main folder. Then under that I set up specific
folders for less-used Contacts. Unfortunately, in Windows Mail, when I
click on the To: in my message, it brings up ALL the contacts, not just
those in the main folder, as in Outlook Express. That makes addressing mail
very time-consuming.

That aside, if I double-click and go into one of the sub-folders there's no
way to get back out into the main folder. There needs to be an Up option.
Oh, I know I could just open the Navigation Pane but I don't want the
Navigation Pane open - just a simple Up button would do the trick very
nicely.

And what's with the Address Book window not remember from opening to opening
how it was set up. That's really annoying.
