In Gmail, how do I create a contact from a recipient of an email? For sender, there is 'Add to Contact List' but there doesn't appear to be anything similar for the To: or Cc: fields.
Is there an easier way than creating the contacts manually?

While Lipis' answer still works, there's another method as well.
With the message open, hover your mouse pointer over the sender's name. An info card will pop up. If the address is not already in your contacts, you can click the "Add to Contacts" button to open a contact edit form with the name and email address already filled out.
(The Add and invite button is for adding the person to your Google+ Circles.)
In your compose window, simply start typing the name of the contact group in the Cc field.
When you see the contact group you want to use, just click on it (or use the arrow keys to highlight it then press enter). All of the email addresses for the contacts in that group will be added to the field. Of course, this works for To and Bcc as well.

It's very simple, at least in the current version of Gmail.
