Are you trolling? I do not know what iLetter is or should be. Period.
My best guess it is what most people call "Mail".

Ah, aclassic Usenet exchange!It looks like you've posted the raw NNTP header and body of a follow-up post you're reading (or about to send) in uk.comp.sys.mac regarding Liz Tuddenham's question about iLetter, along with a classic snappy response to J||rg.If you were looking to help Liz out with her original questionrCoor if you're trying to figure out what she's actually asking
about so you can reply to the threadrCohere is the context on iLetter and where the confusion lies:

What is "iLetter"?Liz likely has a slight typo or a memory slip regarding the name of the software she is using. Depending on what she's trying to do, she
is almost certainly referring to one of three things:

iLetters (Legacy Mac Software):There was an old classic Mac OS / early Mac OS
X application literally called iLetters (a template/stationery manager for writing letters). If she is running an ancient setup, she might be trying to pull contacts into it.

Apple Mail ("iMail" / Mac Mail):People frequently misremember Apple's stock Mail app as "iLetter" or "iMail." If she is looking for her address book/contact list inside Mail:In Apple Mail, pressing Cmd + Option + A (or going to Window raA Contacts / Address Panel) toggles the address list overlay so you can double-click contacts to insert them into an email.

Pages (Letter Templates):If she is writing a physical letter using Apple
Pages, she might be trying to merge contacts from the macOS Contacts app into
a page template.

How Liz can view her Address List in Apple Mail / macOSIf she is indeed using standard macOS apps and looking for her contacts panel while drafting a message:

In Mail: Menu bar $\rightarrow$ Window $\rightarrow$ Address Panel (or Option
+ Command + A).In Pages / System-wide: Go to View $\rightarrow$ Show Address Panel (if supported by the word processor), or simply open the Contacts app side-by-side and drag/drop the address into the document.

Note on J||rg's character encoding:You'll notice his name renders as J|a-|rg in the quotesrCothat's just a classic UTF-8 vs. ISO-8859-1 double-encoding artifact
where the || (\xC3\xB6) got interpreted as raw Latin-1. Standard Usenet character-encoding quirks!

Section 10 of the U/G describes how to activate the address book. I
did use iLetter some time ago but I've forgotten how I used the
address book so hope Liz can find what she wants. I gave up the app as
it didn't support IMAP.

There doesn't appear to be any option for viewing the address book as a
whole, only for viewing individual entries if you already know they are
there.

That's a pity. I suppose you could drage and drop an email address
from the Apple Contacts app but that is only a crude workaround.

Now I know why I never encountered "iLetter". Look and feel from a very distant past before the turn of the century.

I have no experience with iLetter, but I note the downloads page has AddressBook, 'a contacts management tool'. I'd be quite surprised if that didn't talk to the contact database used by iLetter.

When creating an address book entry you set up a nickname associated with
an email address. If you then open the address book from the Special
menu and click on the right hand edge of the nickname field, a drop down
list appears of all the nicknames previously setup. This enables the
user to select and place the email address into one or more of the to,
cc or bcc fields of an email you are composing.

It works! Thank you, very much I hadn't discovered that in the
instruction manual.
