You'll find the option you're looking for if you right-click the sender name
in the reading pane or open message. You can also drag the message to the
Contacts folder; creating a new contact that way provides some context of why
that person was added as a contact, because it records the content of the
message as notes for the contact.

As for doing that automatically (which I personally would not recommend),
see http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/addauto.htm.
