I think the user should be able to configure TB/M&N to:

1) ALWAYS use collected addresses
2) ASK whether or not to save an address as collected
3) NEVER save collected addresses

Quite often I find myself sending a message to someone that is not in my address book nor do I want to save them to my address book.

I'd prefer to tell it that I WANT to save the address instead of having Mozilla assume that I want to.  If this is currently possible, I'm sorry--I've looked through the preferences and haven't found it.

Reproducible: Always

Ok I just found the setting (although I'd still like to see the option to have it ASK if I want it to save the collected address (on a per message basis).

But at least I know how to control whether or not it stores them--but for ALL messages.
