 * 1) Open the Address Book.
 * 2) Choose the Other Options squishy.
 * 3) Choose the Create A New Book Or List squishy. Type a name and choose the button with the yellow right arrow.

 * 5) Select either the Share It or the Keep It Private check box. Choose the button with the green check mark.
 * 6) Choose the Add Or Remove Names squishy.
 * 7) Choose the Get Names From Other Address Books squishy. Clear all address book selections, except the destination location of your mail message by clicking in the box so that the red check mark goes away. Choose the green check mark button.
 * 8) In the check boxes, select the names you want on the list by clicking on them to put a red check mark in the box. By default, all names are unchecked. When you are finished, click the green check mark.
