Generally speaking, it is a good idea to create a different organizational unit in which to house your contacts, especially if you're going to have more than a few of them. In some companies, where contractors are used on a regular basis, this becomes even more important. So consider creating an organizational unit (OU) for your contacts. To create a contact in the Exchange Management Console, begin by navigating to the Mail Contact node under Recipient Configuration in the console tree. In the action pane, click the New Mail Contact link (Figure 3-29) to start the New Mail Contact Wizard (Figure 3-30).

On the Introduction page of the wizard, you can choose to create a new contact or, by selecting an existing contact, you mail-enable it and associate an email address with it. In this chapter, we'll focus on creating a new contact, so you'd select New Contact and click Next. On the Contact Information page (Figure 3-31), provide contact information and specifically add information to the External Email Address field by clicking the Edit button and entering an SMTP address. Once complete, click Next.

The New Mail Contact page summarizes the information you provided, and after you click the New button, the Completion page lists the outcome. When looking at the properties of a contact (accomplished by selecting the contact in the results pane and clicking the Properties link in the action pane), most of the tabs and input boxes are self-explanatory (see Figure 3-32), so we won't go through them in great detail. However, on the General tab, you can force messages sent to this contact to be in the form of Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) rich text. Select this, if appropriate.
