Sometimes when I save a Contact that has been sent to me from another individual, the contact is "saved" twice. While this new contact only shows up once in the Outlook Contacts list, it will show up twice when clicking on the "TO:" button for sending emails. How do I get rid of one of the Contacts from the email portion of Outlook?

Check for duplicate contacts.

No. These are not duplicates in the Contacts Folder.
This is the intended behavior for the Outlook Address Book. The standard
behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all electronic addresses
(both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed. The only way to
prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a different field or
to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha character) so that
Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
There are also a number of utilities available that can do this for you
automatically. Some are listed here:

Try and turn something like word wrap ON in your newsreader
if possible :)
