Force New Contact creation when sending mail to new address

[jase]

Hello,

When sending a mail through Outlook to an address that isn't in my
Contacts is there a setting that I can activate so that Outlook will
tell me that this is a new contact, and then ask me if I wish to save
the new details in my Contacts ? (this is what happens in Hotmail, so
why not in Outlook aswell!)

(Or do I have to come up with a VBA solution)

Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jason

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:
