pretty sure this is already filed in bugzilla, but I'm unaware of what the timeline is for that feature. It should be listed under the mailer component I think, if I'm not mis-remembering. Might be marked as Future? Anyways, it's not possible with evolution 1.2 (but I'm sure you gathered that already). If you'd like to take a stab at it, go for it. Unfortunately I'm not sure where you should begin tho. I think there is some code in the mailer that handles right-clicking on email address links in the preview pane, which pops up a little dialog asking the user if he/she wants to add the contact. You'll probably want to just skip the prompt I guess? Since there is already the right-click method, there will be some overlap between it and the feature you want - so there will probably need to be a checkbox option to auto-collect addresses or not. Eithr that, or perhaps th auto-collect would collect the addresses into a separate Addressbook? I think that's what Outlook Express does (What Would Outlook Do?).
