It seemed indeed by your description that this was what I was looking for. But today when I went to the Automatic Contacts Tab, I found that it was already checked! That is, the option was already enabled. --But I do not find that it works. For example, I have been writing a particular person, and every time I begin to type his e-mail address in the "To" window, I hope that Evo will cue me by completing the e-mail address so I don't have to type it all. But it never does so. Then last evening I manually added his address in my Contact List, and then next time when I went to type his e-mail address in the "To" window of a mail, Evo did cue me by completing the address for me. So when the Automatic Contacts Tab is already enabled, then why is it that I still have to manually enter people's e-mail addresses into the Contact List when I have already sent letters to them in the past? One question: is it that the Automatic Contacts will only add a new address if you are clicking on "reply" to THEIR letter? Or if you write an e-mail to someone to whom you haven't written before, and you type their address into the "To" window of a mail, then in that case would Evo add that address into Contacts? Or does it only happen when you actually click on "reply" to someone's letter? I would hope that it is not restricted to when you click "reply". If you type a new e-mail address into the "To" window of a mail, then the same auto entry ought to occur in Contacts as if you had clicked on "reply".
