Address book problem

There is an address book accesible from the start menu with many addresses
in it and no apparant simple way to move one to the TO: fiels of a new
message. There is also what appears to be a different address book
available from a little square icon on the message composition screen. This
address book is empty. I can't see a way to import the addresses into this
address book from the one available from the start menu. What do I have to
do to have easy access to an address book without rekeying all the stuff
that already exists in the one that is hard to use??

That is the one that gives me the address book with no entries.

I am new to Windows Mail and Vista. I used Netscape email previously.

I have set up separate contact groups for specific people who I contact
specifically for that group either as a group or individually. When I click
the contract group how do I include the people in the group to receive the
email as BCC so others can not see there email addresses?
It seems as though I can only send to TO: so everyone will see the
addresses.

How can I thread emails like was possible in Netscape so they are filed by
topics and there responses?

Put the group name in the BCC: field.
If you don't see the BCC field, in the compose window,
click on View - Show All Headers.

Regarding threading, try this: View, Current View, Group messages
by conversation.

set up that way but when I click contacts all my contacts are listed but not
by group name.
