Auto add contact on reply?

[Richard]

In Outlook 2000, I was able to make a sub-folder under
Contacts that I arbitrarily named "Auto". Whenever I
replied to an email, Outlook would check to see if I had
that address anywhere in my current contacts. If not,
then it would automatically add a new contact using the
name and email address that I am replying to. It would
add this new contact in the Auto folder. I had it set up
this way so that I could ensure that I captured the email
address that was sent to me (allowing me to search for
all emails exchanged with that contact) without
cluttering up my normal contacts folder.

I have not found a feature similar to this in Outlook XP.
Does it exist????

No. That was a feature only in the old IMO mode of Outlook, so it does not
exist in Outlook 2002. You can do the same with a reg hack if you wish:
