Data detectors in Leopard are cool. In Mail, for instance, you simply hover over a piece of data, and an arrow appears allowing further action (if the system recognizes the data). Hover over an address, and you can add that address to your Address Book.

What is not obvious is that if you also highlight some other text in the email, and then hover over the address data, the address will get added to the appropriate fields, and the highlighted text will get added to the Notes field. Very cool!
