Stop adding people to my address book!! ARGH!!

[James Duncan]

Argh! Could someone tell me how to stop Outlook Express from adding people
to my address book EVERY time I reply to someone!!??
I want this function to be taken away so that I and only I decide when and
who is added to my address book. I'm sure it must be a switch somewhere but
I can't find it!?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Jim.

From OE's Help searching on

add address book



To add contacts to your Address Book from Outlook Express

When you receive e-mail, you can add the sender's name and e-mail address to your Address Book from within Outlook Express.

1.. Open the message.
2.. On the Tools menu, point to Add to Address Book, and then select the user you want to add.
You can also set up Outlook Express so that people whose messages you reply to are automatically added to your Address Book.

1.. In Outlook Express, on the Tools menu, click Options.
2.. On the Send tab, select the Automatically put people I reply to in my Address Book check box.
