Yes... it's hard to get used to hitting tab just to get the "netmail sent"  
area.  OpenXP calls it the "User area" as per:

║                                                        ║
║  <Tab>        Switches between message area and        ║
║               User display.                            ║


You're calling it the Address-book?

After the first TAB, to get the User display, and then when I press (b)  
for Address-book, this happens:

..with *every* name I select.  I guess I don't understand what Address- 
book is supposed to do.


And.. the above list is only by name.  A complete list by Subject would be  
nicer.
