Haven't checked Linux.

Overview: In the Envelope area of the message pane the spec states that there 
should be an "Add to Address Book" button:

'Add to Address Book Button - Opens the Card Edit dialog (Address Book) with the 
Sender's information entered. Mousing over this button displays the ToolTip, 
"Add the sender to your Address Book".'

Actual Results: No button appears
Expected Results: The "Add to Address Book" button should appear in the 
Envelope in the top right area. If an attachment is present then the button 
appears to the left of the Attachment button.

Workaround: You can right click onto an address in the Envelope area and the 
context menu displays the option to add to address book.

Mail triage giving nsbeta3-

I suggest this be removed form the spec. Clicking addresses should give you the 
add dialog, so this is useless.

Marking WONTFIX, if someone objects they should fix it ASAP.

Hey Timeless. Please don't mark bugs like this WONTFIX.  It was moved to Future 
milestone because it's something we'd like to do at some point. We believe that 
some users may find this useful.

I discussed with putterman and he agreed this is now a WONTFIX. Clicking email 
opens menu which includes "Add to Address Book".

Verified.
It good that we have "Add to Address Book" in the context menu on addressee link.
