Outlook 98/2000 in Internet Mail Only mode it was possible to do this since
the Windows Address Book had a menu option to turn the support on.
Microsoft removed the support from Outlook 2002/2003. You can try the steps
at the bottom of http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/files/wab.htm to see if
you can get it back, but if it causes issues, you can't blame Microsoft. :)

The only issue I know of is that it requires that outlook be running -this
means Outlook will be running hidden (if not already open when you open OE)
and Outlook will not close properly if OE is open when you exit outlook.

Funny that you should say that. We need to get this added to our "Why does
Outlook stay resident" FAQs. ;)
