Vista - Windows Mail Contact List

08-22-2008

I am having a problem with e-mails received from new senders. Specifically,
when someone sends me a e-mail, either as a TO or CC addressee, it
AUTOMATICALLY gets posted to my Contact List without the benefit of any
dialog box asking me if I want to do so. How do I correct this situation and
how do I ONLY permit new contacts in my Contacts List when I approve?
Thanks/Bob

Tools, Options, Send, uncheck "Automatically put people I reply to in my Contacts list".

> Gary, Thanks for your response, however, is there one more step, like XP, which will permit me not to opt out of not permitting a new Contact even if I do not respond to an incoming e-mail from a new e-mailer? Thanks/Bob

I am not aware of any other setting that affects automatic saving to Contacts.
