Today as I was working on developing some items for clients, I was reminded of another small frustration I have with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The application is built for email management right? I use it to quickly and efficiently send emails to friends, family, business colleagues, prospective clients, etc.

Why isn’t the “Send Email” link one the first level menu when you right-click on a contact in your address book? In fact, why should I have to right-click on a contact at all. There should be a little email envelope icon right next to their name or something that would immediately let me start an email to that person don’t you think?

Is that just too obvious? Am I missing something?
