Recent Contacts setting in Lotus Notes 8.5.3 is better

When building out my new laptop, I installed Lotus Notes 8.5.3.  As I was setting all my preferences, I stumbled across a section titled 'Choose how names are added to Recent Contacts' and it has a much improved set of features.  


While it offers a lot of choices, I still don't see exactly the one I want.  Here is what I am looking for;
A combination of 'Only sender's name from emails I receive' and 'Only names from emails I send'.  The third radio button, 'Only the "To" recipient names from emails I send & receive' seems close but it has it's own issues.  What are they you ask?  I commonly find that someone I know sends me an email with 20 other people in the 'To' field.  I don't want those 20 other people added.  A lot of times, I don't know them nor do I care to send them a message.

Having a check-box instead of a radio button would solve my needs.  I could then pick the 2nd and 4th items and be on my way.  This is definitely an improvement from where 'Recent Contacts' started, but could use a few final tweaks.
