People are using email more & more and saving them just as we used to file
letters.
I would like to record any action taken on an email that is stored with the
email just as I would write a note on a letter in the file.
This way if I need to check what I did in response to an email, I just need
to find the email and see what I recorded, just as I would have looked at a
letter on a file.

Double-click an e-mail to open in its own window. Then edit the received
copy of the e-mail by using the Edit -> Edit Message menu to make the
modifications that you describe that you do to paper mails; i.e., you say
that you corrupt the original letter with comments, and you can do the same
in Outlook.
