Linking to Email Message

[JDC]

I receiveall of my projects to do by email. I then use the "Send to OneNote"
option in Outlook 2007 to track the projects in OneNote.

However, once it gets into OneNote, there is no easy way for me to reply to
the email. Is there any way to link an Outlook message to the note so i could
easily open up the original message? This is often necessary to ask questions
or reply that the project is complete.

Currently, I go back to Outlook and find the message manually by date or I
use Windows Desktop Search to find it by subject. This process reduces my
productivity.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

You can you Windows Linker by TeamScope to create a click-able
hyperlink to an Outlook e-mail.

Paste that hyperlink into OneNote and you've got a hotlink back to the
original e-mail.

It's not a seamless solution, but it does work.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried it and it wasn't really working when I
read the following:

OUTLOOK 2007 NOTE: Due to what Microsoft cites as security issues, Outlook
2007 disables the ability for Windows to use or recognize Outlook format links

Now I have to see if I can "tweak" Outlook 2007 to give me this option back.
