Contact additions from e-mail addresses

[Ted Southam]

Its become apparent to me that when I type in the first few letters of a
recipient that the full contact appears in the Send To space but not all of
these appearances are from Contacts. Some seem to be stored from previous
sent e-mails. how an I identify or merge or add these items to Contacts?

That is correct - the autocomplete list contains names you previously sent
messages to. You need to use a utility to save the names not in your address
book - see http://www.slipstick.com/problems/nicknamecache.asp for a list.

Note that Outlook 2010's Suggested Contacts will create contacts for people
you send mail to that are not in your address book.
