One thing (perhaps the only thing) that I like about Lotus Notes over MS 
Outlook -- and those are the only two ever available at a client site -- is its 
ability to create "expandable" paragraphs.  When I want to pack a lot of 
information into a single email, I can create "optional" paragraphs led by a 
header in bold, then hide that section.  If my boss wants to know "Why It 
Happened", he can click on that header and read the history of the problem; 
otherwise he can ignore it and read only "How We Can Fix It".  Or whatever.

I do that sometimes with multiple items, or at least put each item on a single 
line.  I remember one time where (yes I was being a jerk) I had so much trouble 
with a particular person I emailed them a URL to a quick web page I made with 
check boxes and input fields.  I was surprised it worked!
