When I create a new message and click on To: to pull the email account from
my contact list there are entries for fax numbers in addition to the email
addresses. Is there somewhere I can change the view to keep the fax numbers
from appearing? I only want email addresses to appear when I click on To: to
send an email.

The only way to do this is to either put fax numbers in another field (such
as Callback) or preface them with an F: or FAX: bit of text. Otherwise
Outlook thinks they are valid electronic addresses. Sorry.
