  <title>Adding people automatically to my contacts</title>

  <p>You can add people automatically to your contacts when you reply to
  received email. Enable the plugin <gui>Automatic Contacts</gui> by going to
  <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Plugins</gui></guiseq>; click on
  <gui>Automatic Contacts</gui> so that it shows a check mark. Then go to
  <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Contacts</gui>
  <gui>Automatic Contacts</gui></guiseq> and enable the
  <gui>Create address book entries when sending emails</gui> option and select
  an address book in the drop-down field below that will receive the new
  contacts.</p>

  <p>From now on, contacts will be automatically created for senders of
  received mail when you reply to that mail.</p>
  <!-- Location in Preferences is correct only since 3.1.5, as
     https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655492 was fixed -->
