Automatic look-up of contacts from an email address

I used Outlook 2002.  I have gotten into the habit of
right-clicking on an address in an email message and
selecting "look up Contact" to bring up the Contact form
that contains that address.

However, because of a limitation in the number of
contacts I can synch with my phone (SonyEricsson P800), I
have split my Contacts into two separate folders (one is
synch-ed, the other is not).  Now the right-click "look
up" function works only for Contacts found in the top-
level folder.  The "Find a Contact" function (from the
toolbar) works fine; it will locate a contact in either
the top-level or subordinate folder because I have set
the Address Book properties to search in both.  But right-
clicking doesn't work.

Does anybody know how to make this work?  Or is this
simply a bug in Outlook?

Thanks in advance...

Not a bug, just designed that way. It's apparently a different lookup
function. You can send feature requests to mswish@microsoft.com and
outwish@microsoft.com
