The only downside is that including the memo column takes up some valuable horizontal real-estate. That said, message memos are wonderful -- much better than anything I've seen in the competition. Not being able to edit the actual message does have some benefit. For example, if you know that the message cannot be altered without changing the "created" date, you have more confidence in the authenticity of that message. FWIW, I didn't know that message memos existed -- I have seen them in no other mail package, so I wasn't looking for them here. Now that I know they exist, I wonder how I ever did without them. If you need to do more than jot a quick note, try the following to edit the message (any part of it): 1. Drag the message to the Outbox. 2. In the Outbox, double-click the message to open it. 3. Edit, save, then close the message. 4. Drag the message back to its original folder.
