underscores in email addresses

I use Windows mail and my cousin's email address is .
Whenever I try to write him the email comes back saying it was undeliverable
to notsaying 007.yahoo.com. (They put a blank where the underscore line was.)
This is because the blue line falls on the blue line of the email address
box and the two become one, and the address looks like it has a space where
the underscore is. It is correct in the contacts folder .
I am able to email him from the online account with my same carrier, but
they gave me a long all-digit password I can never remember or find . I want
to be able to forward him stuff in my inbox as I forward it to 10 others, not
forward it to 9 others, copy, find the website address in Favorites, fill in
acct info, wait for page to fill, find the email section, wait for page to
fill, click "compose" and then browse my computer for the photo which is in
fact in an email, not a folder, until I left-click and save it to one. Just
to get to him what I get to the rest of my contacts by punching the "forward"
button and typing in the first letter of each name. I am so agravated! If you
can't recognize underscores in emails, why are they allowed? What can I do to
get the underscore seen?I want to tell Microsoft but from Windows Mail I was
directed here to tell of it; it said there'd be a "tell Microdoft" button but
there isn't. Please tell me how I can use a legit email address that Windows
mail keeps saying is not (as they call it by a name I didn't enter,
notsaying , rather than ). Please tell me
how to tell Microsoft.

Have you tried typing in the complete email address and sending a test
message, without using the auto fill?
The underscore and the blue line view that you mention have no effect on a
correctly typed email address.

Did you EVER at some time type in the wrong address for them?

WM does not use the Contact folder address to auto fill, it uses a list of
the last 29 addresses that you sent to.
You can clear this auto fill list, see the following article.

Ignore all the ads and get the file from the attachments section, install it
etc.
