How can I set Outlook to automatically put an email address into "contacts"
if I reply to an email? I recall it can be done without me typing in a "new
contact" but cannot recall how. I have Outlook 2003

Thanks!
Kathy

No full versions of Outlook ever had the ability to add recipients
automatically to your Contacts Folder. Only the long abandoned IMO mode of
Outlook 98/2000 did that. To automatically add the email address of people
you respond to to your Contacts Folder requires code:

Another way of moving the contact information from your "reply-to" email
addresses are to copy it form your autocomplete file into your contact
folder. This can be done with a commercial product found at
www.ingressor.com
