Hi Iona,
Command shift y does that. It adds the sender of the currently highlighted 
message to your address book, and it does this without asking questions. You 
won't know that command shift y did anything at all, until you check your 
address book and you see that the sender along with the email address is now 
there. Sometimes, the first, middle and last names get mixed up in a strange 
way, where the fields contain the wrong data. So what I usually do is quickly 
check the address book entry right after having added the sender with command 
shift y from within lion mail, so that I can correct the name fields 
immediately. If you don't chances are that the name will not pop up from the 
address book when you type its first few letters in the to, field in mail.
Hth,
Paul.
