Save e-mail to a Task - not as an attachment

[Guest]

When I right-click an e-mail, I'd like to save it to a Task (existing or
other), but NOT as an attachment. You can right-click an e-mail now and
"Move" it to "Tasks", but this creates a new task with the e-mail as an
attachment - you'd have to reopen the e-mail attachment to read its contents
which is very annoying. I'd love to see this resolved.

I just drag the email over to Tasks on the Folder list, and it takes the
subject of the email as the Task name.
