Adding notes to emails & saving them in their original state

[Kingscroft]

I want to add messages or notes to my emails and save them in the original
state ie. to; from without have to press forward or reply to access the
email, type in note then save. This means it's saved under my own name
rather than the person that sent it to me originally. I know it's sounds
complicated but I basically want to type notes on a message without affecting
it in any way. Flagging would be ideal but it only allows you to flag a
message then put in a date it's due for completion. I'm using Office Outlook
2003.
Anyones help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Flags allow for a single line comment.

Other ways are to attach a note or type in the body;
Open the message, Edit-> Edit message-> knock yourself out typing whatever
you want

I've wanted this feature for years. Office 2007's OneNote allows you to
create notes out of Outlook messages. It works great... but unfortunately
there's no real "link" between them (you can't open the message, click a
button, and see the notes). Let's hope the Office team are "thinking" about
innovation. It doesn't seem like it tho.... this is a feature you're likely
to see 5 years from now AFTER OpenOffice or Google Docs does it.
