Windows XP OE Rules- Automatically add sender???

[idcmktng]

I am looking for a way to automatically add a sender to my address book as part of a set of rules I'm trying to write to reduce spam.

Basically will work as follows:

If sender is not in address book

move to a "holding folder"

reply to sender with a message stating this is an effort to reduce spam, please reply to this message, you will only have to do so once, blah blah blah...

sender replies to a special email address I have set up.

If "to" line = (special address) AND body contains (specific words that will be in the reply body)

move messages to in-box and add sender to address book.

I just can't seem to find a way to "automatically" add a sender to my address book.

Running OE on XP

Thanks!

You may be able to do it using "rules" ... but OE is a very limited email program, you may have better luck using Outlook, or another email program.
