How do I add address from the "From" line - it now reads "add mobile alert" not "add to addresses"

Beside the "From " email address it used to say "add to address book". Now it says "add mobile alert" which I do not want. I want it to go back to add to email address book setup. How do I get rid of mobile alert and add back the original add to address book? Thanks

Update:

If this action has been changed, can I get the mail icon to add to address book back instead of mobile alert...'don't use this. The suggestions offered didn't work either. thanks

    The "add to address book" icon has been removed---from everybody---with no explanation from Yahoo--- or even a promise of something similar to come.

    The old fashion way, seems to be it, at present.

    Click on "contacts"----then on "add contacts", and type in the info.

    This option has been changed.

    Try clicking the reply button (but don't really reply) to see if their address will be in the "TO" box.

    Or, go to the bottom of the Email and click on "Full Headers" and take a look at the "Return Path."
