Is there any way to make a note on an e mail? Many times I see an e mail
from someone, I save it in a folder, and would like to see my notes on this
e mail. Any idea?????? Thanks.

How would you "see" these?

If you want to "browse" later within Entourage itself, as I think you do:

A. Links

1. When viewing the message, click Tools/Link to New/Note. (For some reason,
there's no Link button when viewing in Preview Pane, but if you read
messages in their own window, there is a Link button in the message's
toolbar. You can use that too.)

2. Write your note. Save.

3. Now you'll see a Link symbol in the Messages List (folder) for this
message. When you see it, click Tools/Open Links/Notes/that note, ad
double-click it. (Again, you can do it via the button in its own window.)

Until you get to Links window, you won't see the name of the Note or what
it's about, of course. I'd suggest creating a "Message Note" category and
assigning that too to the message, so you don't bother opening links to
contacts made automatically by Entourage, only messages that have Message
Note category and links.


B. Stickies in the Finder

Alternately, you can always drag messages, or click File/Save As... to save
them in a Finder folder, as .eml files, and then make a regular Finder label
and/or Sticky for it. Double-clicking the eml file will open it again in
Entourage.

Great info. Thanks Paul, I'll play around with this.
