Gmail Tip: Automatically add a contact name to your address book

Our resident law geek Stewart Rutledge writes in with a handy Gmail tip.

When sending a message, type the name of the recipient you want to appear in your Contacts and then place the email address inside <>. That will auto-add the name to your address book formatted.

For instance, rather than: stewart@example.com in the To: box, use Master Stewart Rutledge, the Wonderful <stewart@example.com>

As a matter of fact, this method seems to work in most email clients (Thunderbird, at least) that auto-add recipients to your address book. Thanks, Stewart! �?" Gina Trapani
