I am new to Outlook 2007. I am trying to use the New Message to Contact tool
but I keep getting a message stating that the contact does not have a valid
email address even though the address is indeed valid. I learned that if I
delete the contents of the Display As field and allow Outlook to fill the
field automatically, the problem is resolved. I do not want to have to do
this for each and every contact in order to use this feature. Are you aware
of a fix for this problem?

Did you import your contacts at all?
