Okay, turns out (in MY case) that most of the Contacts had neither email
addresses nor fax numbers, so they didn't count even though their containing
folder was properly in the Address Book. I didn't create the contacts (in
fact, they were sync'd from an iPaq) so I didn't know that til closer
examination. Beth should check to see if this is what's going on in her case.

(This is a bug, if you ask me: it would be better to have the name show up
with an option to edit in the email address when you tried to add it to the
To: field. If nothing else, this would present obscurely-spelled names to
the user so that s/he'd have a better chance of reconstructing the email
address.)

Cf. this article, sugg'd by Russ Valentine for a similar case 2/26/2005:

Once I click "To"
a list comes up of my contacts to choose from, this is where I don't see
all of my contacts! They aren't all available to choose! WHy?
