add an email address in body of email

I am trying to send a copy of an email address stored in my contact list to
another person, by creating a new email and then adding the info into the
body of the email, not in the To,Cc or Bc areas.
In outlook Express all i used to do was to go to the contact list highlight
the email address and the contacts info, copy and paste into the body of the
new email.
With Windows Live Mail I cannot seem to do this.
Any ideas on how to do it.

Are you going into the contact list of the " New . Email" menu?

Are you going into the contact list of the " New . Email"  menu?

That may be why you are having the problem.
Before you select the "File - New", enter your "Go - Contacts" and,
after selecting the person you wisk to copy, right click his/her Email
address and "Copy"

You can then follow your usual procedure by rteating New mail and
pasting in.

In a message compose window, click the 'To' button, select the contact to copy*, click the 'Cc->' button, copy the contact that appears, click Cancel, paste.

* it is usually quickest to just start typing the name of the contact you want if you have a long list to scroll through. As you type more characters, the name you are looking for will eventually show up ready for selection.
