Outlook 2003: Capturing eMail Addresses Into Address Book?

[(PeteCresswell)]

Let's say I get an email from (e-mail address removed).

Is there a way to quickly capture Joe's email address into
Outlook's address book? Or do I have to select it, copy it,
create a new address book entry, paste it into the entry, and
save the entry?

Seems like one of those bread-and-butter functions that's
probably there - but I just can't find it.

Hi - this is a group for WinXP issues. For Outlook issues, please post in
microsoft.public.outlook (or whatever sub-group best fits the question).

[That being said - in OL, open the message, right-click on the sender &
choose Add to Contacts.]

I don't use outlook, but there should be a option to save address that
you reply to. Now that's only for those you reply to.
If you open the email and right click on senders name, there is an
option to add to outlook contacts. That's your address book.

Per Big Al:

If you open the email and right click on senders name,

That was it: right-click, dropdown pops, choose "Add to
contacts".

Thanks!

Paul -

Did you not notice how quickly Big Al was able to
answer an Outlook question while browsing the
"general" group. I bet he doesn't let the group vs.
subject interfere with his thought process where -
it apparently knocks you for a loop. (yea Big Al).

Here's a general question for you Paul: Do you
have any clue what the word "general" means?

Sure - it refers to GENERAL questions regarding WINDOWSXP.

Now, where does it mention OUTLOOK? Oh, right - IT DOESN'T.
