Alright Allen, thanks for your help!
I wanna know if I understand your script correctly: the script puts the text
of the email message in the "notes"-part of the task?
If this is so, I probably wasn't precise enough in describing what I'd
really want... What I'd *really* want is that the reminder shows whatever
text I type in the "notes"-part of the 'follow-up' window.
