How to select a non-default e-mail address from a contact ?

Greetings group,
I have a well-populated OE contact list with numerous contacts having
multiple e-mail addresses. Each contact has a designated 'default'
email address, which I have set as the one which I use most often -
works fine. My problem is that I occasionally need to email one of the
'secondary' addresses for the contact and can't seem to figure out how
to open a new message to it. Double-clicking on the contact (from the
main contact list pane) opens to the default address, as does 'Send
E-Mail' from the context menu. It would be ideal if all of the
addresses under a contact showed up with a right-click. Is there a
setting someplace which does this, or some other easy means to quickly
open a new message to whichever of the addresses within a contact that
I choose ?

As it stands now there appears to be no useful purpose (other than
storage, I suppose) for having more than one e-mail address under a
contact, which would be absurd. Thoughts anyone ?

Thanks,
Rick

Click: Create Mail | Click: To | Double click on the address
you want | Click: OK.

As Bruce said is the only way unless you create a new contact for each email
address so that when you type the name in and click send a window will pop
up asking you to choose the address you wish to use.

If you open the address book (Not the Contacts list) and Right click the contact, Select
Action, Send Mail To, you can select the non-default address.
