Hi Jerry,
If you've in the contact folder, and want to select more than one contact, then 
you can just use the standard method for selecting items in a list which aren't 
necessarily next to each other:
1. select the first contact.
2. start holding down the control key.
3. move to another contact you want using the keys: down arrow, up arrow, home 
and end.
4. press spacebar to select the contact.
5. repeat 3 and 4 as desired.
6. stop holding down the ctrl key.
 
This method is only going to be useful is you have a fairly small number of 
contacts, as moving around just using the arrow keys, plus home and end can be 
a bit slow.
Alternatives are to use select recipients dialog, as someone has already 
suggested,
or to make use of autocomplete or check names. The latter two are described in 
detail in the guide to windows mail which I mentioned in a previous post.
 
David.

Hi Vicky, 
To send an email to one or more of your contacts from the contacts folder, and 
using windows mail: 
1. In your Contacts folder, select one or more contacts. 
2. Open their context menu, then open the Action sub-menu (access key A), and 
then press Enter to choose the first menu item which is Send E-mail. 3. A New 
Message window opens. The one or more contacts are already entered in the To 
edit box, and the focus is at the end of this edit box. 
More info about windows mail can be found in this guide to windows mail for
