Composing an email in Gmail on HTC Incredible

I feel like an idiot even for asking this, but I've consulted the Google and used the forum search. In any case, this should be so obvious I don't understand how I've spent 20 minutes screwing around on the phone and have not figured it out.

Anywho, I want to go into Gmail, compose a new email, and be able to select contacts (or even have the app provide a look-ahead list based on what I type). This is exactly how the Gmail app for my Blackberry 8830 worked so I don't understand why there seems to be less functionality no an Android phone. In any case, it seems that no matter what, all I can do is manually type in email addresses.

Also, I know I can go into Contacts (People) and select a person's email. This brings up a menu option to email using Gmail or my Exchange email account. This in't good enough because all I can do is open a new email to one person this way. What if I want to email 10 people!?

Anyway, the phone must be able to do this. I must be blind. Please enlighten me as to what I'm missing.

TIA
 
Start typing the recipient's first name in the to box. When you pick up your finger or type space a list of names will show, select the name and keep doing that until you have all the names you want in the to list.
