I certainly hope not. I can't think of anyone who would want such a feature.
Do you really want every message sender added to your Contact Folder without
your express permission? How many purveyors of Viagra do you really need in
your address book?

Try Exlife (or inboxrules, both from www.ornic.com) - you can save senders
addresses based on rules. You can also do it yourself - right click on the name
in the preview pane or open message and choose 'create contact'.
