Create a task from inside an email?

[Guest]

I've seen one program that will allow one to create a task directly from
within an email (as opposed to dropping and dragging after getting out of the
email). I've been looking for an add-in or another program (that isn't $69.00
per use).

not sure I understand why dragging and dropping isn't a doable option - you
can drop to a tasks button or icon and don't need to actually 'get of the
email'. You can also use edit, move to (or copy to folder) or right click
and choose move to... then choose tasks folder. You can also select part of
a message in the preview pane and drag it to the tasks button...

The issue isn't whether dragging and dropping isn't doable... it's a matter
of being faster and more efficient. I get a lot of mail, as I am sure most of
us do. However, if I can find something that saves me a few seconds per email
by being able to click once from within an email and be entering task
information, as opposed to closing the email, then dragging and dropping, it
could save me valuable minutes each day. That adds up.
