Dragging e-mails to create a new task

G

Guest

Recently upgraded to Outlook 2003 from Outlook XP. In Outlook XP, if I dragged an e-mail to the task folder, a new task was created and it contained all the contents of the e-mail. Now with Outlook 2003, only the From, Sent, To and Subject field is included in the new task; the body of the e-mail is not included. Is there some way to fix this so that the entire body of the e-mail is included in the task. Also, I don't want to use the choice of "copy here as task with attachment" when I right-click and drag and drop the e-mail to tasks.

1) known issue, fixed in SP1 which is coming soon. If you convert the
message to Plain Text first it works

2) a drag & drop with a right click always gives you a choice; you cannot
disable this, just used the left mouse button instead
