Attaching Notes to E-Mail Messages?

Hi.

I was going to recommend the trick Bill described, too.

Well, when you need archiving the original mails, I think there is no out-of-the-box feature in Outlook that allows you to do what you need. The Journal is not really suited for this kind of comments. And linking a file or a note to emails is not possible (though linking files to contacts or tasks is).

In Germany, I would recommend a commercial Outlook add-in called “Email-Notizen Pro” by a small German software company:
http://www.add-in-world.com/katalog/email-notizen-pro

Their website says the add-in is compatible to Outlook 2000-2003 but I can’t see why it should not work with Outlook 2007.

I do not know whether they also have an English version available. But I know that they cooperate with several English-speaking developers and translated some English Outlook add-ins and tools into German.
