Hello everyone.
In Office 2000 when you selected an email to be added to a
task you could select text only and all the text would be
copied into the new task, including the body text of the
email. Now in Office 2003 I can only seem to include the
To, From and the subject line fields in the new task. Is
there a way to also include the body of the email without
copy and past exercise.
I hope there is an answer to this and gets a PA off my
back
Thanks.

is the message in the same message store as you are saving the task to? Do
you know if you are using an ANSI format (compatible with Ol97/2002) or
Unicode format pst?

does it work if you drag and drop the message to the task folder (or task
button in the Navigation pane)?

Thanks for your reply.
ok
Message is on the same store using exchange 2003.
Not trying to put email from pst file but directly from
exchange server.
Works sometimes when drag and drop the message to the task
folder, but interesting if you use insert item from a new
task the same email message does not copy the message
text.
Plain text messages are ok it only seems to be some HTML
messages, but not all, and I can not see any difference in
the format of the messages theat do and dont.
This is starting to do my head in.

Thanks again.
