This is really driving me crazy and I would appreciate any help you guys can give me.

Really appreciate being able to look over your shoulder on your implementation of GTD in Outlook 2007. Could I ask you if there is a way to do what this macro does, but (after assigning a category) both create a task with a copy of the e-mail message attached and file the original message in an e-mail folder? I've been trying to figure it out on my own, but no luck so far. Thanks, Josh Thanks for posting this.

To Answer Felipe, this macro should be run on a Mail item and not a task. Just rename fileFolderName = “Tasks”, sorted.

Is there any way to create a macro (ideally accessible through a key board shortcut) which will create a new task and attach the highlighted email (instead of transcribing the email to the note section, which is what dragging an email to the taskbar does). When processing email I usually create a new task, fill in the subject and categories and drag and drop the email as an attachment so that the email itself is kept in the task. This allows me to delete the email from my inbox, but respond to the original email if I have to while actually performing the task. I apologize if this script does that, but I can't get it to work to try it out. I get a "Compile error: User-defined type not defined" when I run it.

Tracing through I see the call to item.Save happening after the subject is renamed, but the email never appears in the task list. It does however move to the File folder with the correct categories.
