Great thanks.

One thing I LOVED about entourage is that it linked the task to the
message -- so the original message could be stored anywhere. It also
did this automatically when you created a task from the message. I'm
hoping I can find a way to get outlook to the same. Nice to know how
to avoid accidentally losing the message altogether.

thanks again!

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we
can find information on it.

When I drag an email to the task button to create a task, is the
original email then moved? Or only a copy? I'm using outlook 2007,
switching from Entourage on mac.
thanks,
