Automatic contact creation when replying -- feature gone?

Outlook 2000 (as well as an unknown number of versions prior) had an option
that automatically created a contact item when the user replied to an email,
in a designated folder. Did the option go away with Outlook 2003? I can't
seem to find it anywhere in settings or the online help.

If so I guess I'll have to find or write an AddIn to replace it... Obviously
if it took me this long to notice the contacts were no longer being created,
I don't use the contents of this folder often... otoh, I'm *really* bummed
to find out it has been gone all this time... Jeez I hate "upgrades" that
remove features! :-)

(I realize I could process SentItems to recover approximately what I
expected to be there.)

TIA,
Mark
 
If that was there at all it was only in Outlook 2000 Internet only mode. It
was never there in later versions at all. Right click on the item in the To
or From fields and select add to contacts to do it in the Outlook UI. For
addins check the utilities page at www.slipstick.com, maybe there's
something that does what you want.
