Default Message to Task

Hi,

If I drag an e-mail message to the Tasks, the message is now attached
to the task. If I permanently delete the original message, will the
link in the task continue to work?

Thanks for any help.

Default Message to Task

If you just drag the message to Tasks with a left click, I believe it
creates a task item with text from the message. A right-click and drag to
Tasks should give you the options to create a task with text, copy it as an
attachment, or move it as an attachment. Either way, that attached item
should remain there regardless of what happens to the original. If you give
it a try, does it work for you?

Default Message to Task

Yes, the task will still be active until you delete it or mark it complete.
If you created a shortcut to the message, that link will be 'dead'. Full
messages, either inline in the Notes field or attached as a full attachment,
will not be deleted. (Default for 2007 is copying the message inline in the
task notes field).

Do you have all the latest updates installed? Did you try Office
diagnostics?
