Address and Chain mail

[Reece87]

When I receive emails with alot of address/contacts on them, say chain mail,
my address book imports any unkown address from that email to my contacts.
The thing is, I don't want the address of my friend's mom's long lost sister.
Does anyone know how to stop this automatic importation?

Thanks
Reece

Sorry, but Outlook simply does not do that on its own. First, Outlook
doesn't have an Address Book. It uses your Contacts folders. Second, it
doesn't add addresses to COntacts automatically. It can't.

Please describe what your're doing, Outlook's version, and why you think
Outlook is behaving this way. Be precise in describing where you see these
addresses that you think were added.

Only Outlook 98 and 2000 Internet Mail Only mode have this option (both are
hopelessly out of date) and you would need to enable this on purpose.

However, Outlook Express does have this option - what program are you using?
Outlook or Outlook Express?
