Agreed. And then there is Windows Mail - the 'replacement' for Outlook 
Express. With Outlook Express you can have your contacts separated into 
folders, so you can sort people into subgroups, so you don't have to scroll 
all the way down a list to find the person you want to mail. With Windows 
Mail you can set your contacts into subgroups, but when looking for a person 
to send to, all the names from all the subgroups are shown, you cannot look 
just at one subgroup.

appears to contain only American spellings ...
