Bruce:

THANK YOU so very much for responding! I'm at my wits end. Yes, I do know
how to add folks to the Address Book, and delete them individually.

The problem is that if I can a joke or funny thing from someone and s/he
sends it to 30 other people, those 30 unknown people end up in my address
book and I want them to not be automatically added -- I want them to go away,
and don't know how to change the settings to fix this.

Thanks for your reply. Do you think this is do-able?

You can't. If the addresses are in a message you received, go to Tools |
Options | Send and check: Automatically put people I reply to in my Address
Book. Click Reply and then close without sending and the addresses will be
added.
