Adding notes to email messages

[Guest]

It would be very handy to be able to attach a simple note text field to an
email message in your Inbox or a personal folder. For example, I receive an
email and I make a phone call to a coworker in response. It would be nice to
be able to right-click the message, select "Add Note" and type "Called Jim
regarding this on 12/22" and click Save. This could be used in conjunction
with the Follow Up flag functionality. A small Post-It icon could indicate
that a note is attached to a message. And upon replying or forwarding, an
option could be selected to forward the notes as well, to other Outlook users
as a note, or to anyone as an auto-formatted note within the body text.

The note could be viewed as either a column in the standard inbox view
(Field Chooser accessible), as a field in a Properties inspector for that
message, or in a special user-toggle-able field within the View window, or in
the Preview pane.
