I deal with usually a hand full of people by email on a day to day basis. I
get emails on many projects. Would be nice to have a 'comment or note'
option for emails. i.e. I receive an email from a person, I can click the
'comments' button.
Maybe have another window open up or something, then I can enter any notes
or comments about that email so I can save for future reference.

Then when I open the email up 4 mths from now, I can click the 'button' and
read all the notes I made aboue that project. I would recommend making these
'notes or comments' printable.

Click to expand...

Why not just open the message, click Edit>Message and add your comments to
it?
 
Because it changes the message. There are at least two utilities that will
allow you to add notes to messages - or for short notes, you can use the
follow up field - you can type anything there you want.

Bells & Whistles and OutNote are the two I know of.
