I need a quicker way to add contacts to my address book from an email. Is
there a faster way? I am right-clicking and selecting Add to Outlook
Contacts. A macro?

You can drag the message to Contacts.

Doesnt work because the original message contains the email address as a
hyperlink in the body. What I have been doing is clicking the link, which
opens an email, then Check Names, then right-click Add to Outlook contacts.
There must be an easier way. Ideas?

Why "must" there be an easier way? The alternative is to copy and paste into a new contact.
