After writing an email I would like to know if I am able to write some notes
on the side in the email like I am able to do in word. The only way that I
can see it is saving the email to a text only format then saving it again as
a word document and then being able to do ink annotations. Is that the best
way or is there something easier?

Brandon, are you running Outlook 2003, using HTML for the email format and
using Word 2003 as your editor? When you have that set up, within a new
message go to View/Toolbars and add Ink Annotations, Ink Comment and Ink
Drawing & Writing (your choice, depending on what you want to do). After
creating a new email, by simply tapping the X in the upper-right corner,
you'll be offered "Do you want to save the changes to "message name" and
it'll go into your Drafts folder for later editing and notations if you
wish. If this isn't what you're looking for, please post again.

Hello Brandon,

Since you have to use Word as your e-mail editor to be
able to use the ink functionalities, you are able to insert
ink comments, too.

Select "Ink Comment" from the "Insert" menu. Alternatively
you may want to show the toolbars you know from Word -
see also Chris's posting.

You have to use Word as your e-mail editor. When doing
this, you have almost all the Word functionality available in
your e-mails.

Check it out and let us know if this works for you.
