Question: If there are people you'd like to keep on file, but don't want to risk sending accidental e-mail to them, how do you accomplish this using Outlook Express 5, Macintosh edition?

Why not eliminate all risk and use a pencil and paper. Or if you want to be more up to date, a ball-point pen. Older technologies have a lot of advantages sometimes. (Look at the instruments we like playing, after all.)
