Re: Adding notes to emails & saving them in their original state

Flags allow for a single line comment.

Other ways are to attach a note or type in the body;
Open the message, Edit-> Edit message-> knock yourself out typing whatever
you want

I've wanted this feature for years. Office 2007's OneNote allows you to
create notes out of Outlook messages. It works great... but unfortunately
there's no real "link" between them (you can't open the message, click a
button, and see the notes). Let's hope the Office team are "thinking" about
innovation. It doesn't seem like it tho.... this is a feature you're likely
to see 5 years from now AFTER OpenOffice or Google Docs does it.
