Thanks for trying to help, Gary. I fooled around with Outlook and it's even
worse than Windows Mail.
There's no logical breakdown of my groups into ones which would or would not
receive certain messages. So I've gone with my scheme of placing a letter for
the group (v-z) in front of the name, and that's going to work fine. If
anyone wants to do this, a simple re-name won't work. You must put the letter
in front of the 'Full Name' field for the contact.
Is there a process to request fixes with Microsoft? After I posted my
question, I saw this same issue brought up more than numerous times.
