Drag & Drop from Outlook uses msg format
Currently the email is stored as a .eml file which does not integrate well with Outlook as it drops crucial information like To/From/BCC, has encoding issues, and more.
Supporting Outlook's msg format would allow users to drag & drop emails into Task Coach, then when it's time to act on those emails (reply/forward) the attachment can simply be double-clicked and acted upon.
Task Coach should work as requested provided Outlook is running (see earlier comment by Jérôme).

Dear Frank,
In my case, the feature does not work as Jérôme describes. If only it would...
Klicking the "Bijlage" results in opening a window similar to a Note.
In the "Beschrijving" tab the "Locatie" value is e.g. c:\users\nl116698\appdata\local\temp\tmph1nror.eml.I would be very greatful if you could point me in the right direction getting this splendid feature to work for me.
Thanks,
Frits -

Actually, in addition to the standard headers, the Outlook internal ID is saved as well. If Outlook is running and if you're on the same account you created the attachment with, it should open the whole message in Outlook instead of the .eml. Doesn't this work for you ?
