TB3 seems to have lost the ability to choose what book to use when adding an address. This was very useful in TB2! As there does not appear to be any quick means for adding entries to other than the default address book, this is a clear regression.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click an addressee's name in a mail in the preview pane

Actual Results:  
2. Observe that "Add to address book..." is not there
3. Choose "Add to address book" instead
4. Get annoyed because TB didn't ask which book and surely chose wrong
5. Open address books
6. Search for user
7. Get confused because user is not there
8. Realize search only searches the selected address book
9. Notice that a new book "Collected Addresses" got created
10. Find entry in "Collected Addresses" and move to the correct book

Expected Results:  
2. Choose "Add to address book..."
3. Choose correct book in the pop-up dialog and press "OK"
4. Be happy :-)
