Edit Contact Command doesn't remmber the Name

1) Right click Sent items folder in Storage folder.

2) Click Find. Put a name in the To: field. Click Find Now.

3) Click on an email message found.

4) Right click on a name in the To: field, a name that includes the First
Name and Last Name.

5) Click Edit Contact. If the person isn't already in your Contacts the
First Name and last name fields are blank in spite of the fact that their
name was clearly visible in step 4.

6) Why does Windows Live mail do this and is there a way around this other
than typing in their name?

Of course the whole point here is to add their name to the Contacts list.

Emails are stored in the Sent items folder of the email account(unless one moved them to the Storage folder Sent items folder)

If the objective is to add the contact...after finding an email message...Click Add Contact after step 3. Skip the rest of the
steps.
