forwarding an e-mail

i can't figure out how to forward an e-mail to several contacts at once. when i try to do this, a window comes up with a-z in it, and i have to find my contacts one by one. isn't there a way to see all my contacts at once, and check which ones i want to forward the e-mail to? i can do this if i write a new e-mail, but can't seem to do this when i want to forward an e-mail. thanx...
