My employer will be migtrating to Outlook 2007 next month. I am hoping that it will offer more features than our present software, GroupWise, because I have been pushing up against the limits of e-mail and document routing (MS Word) recently, and could use some assistance. I have been slowly looking at Outlook Plug-Ins, but my employer will most likely not permit additional software to be installed. so, taking things one step at a time, does anybody know if Outlook allows you to attached notes or comments to messages that you have sent or received? If not, does anybody have any alternate suggestions? Its a small step towards organization, but it might help me when things get a bit crazy, not unlike a recent deal that involved five parties and ten lawyers.

Yes. It does.
Right now I can only give you instructions on how to to it in the German version. I try to find out the English names of the commands.

I don’t know if this is the best way but I used to use this quick and dirty method before I started linking the messages to UltraRecall.
Outlook 2007 will allow you to edit the message. With message open> “Other actions|Edit message. I just enter my comments into the message.

Bill,
I would normally try what you are recommending, but we need to archive and print our messages for records retention purposes, and I would not necessarily want my comments to be a permanent part of the text body of the message.
