Does this not work for you?

Perhaps you can try using OOo and Outlook/OE dictionaries?

I suppose that it would be nice to enable OOo to compose a text only
document and have it inserted as text in TB rather than using copy &
paste. I can't imagine why you'd want to go the other way though
(compose and use TB as the editor for OOo).

I think that there is (a way) as you can grab the address book from
TB/Netscape/SeaMonkey) and use it as a datasource. Certainly the data is
available; perhaps it is just a matter of: 1) knowing how to use it, or
2) creating an added gizmo/button to paste from the datasource into the
document.

See above.

I suspect that it is as good, or better, than that of OE.
