sigh Well, at least I got _half_ of the functionality back, although with
the added extra step since the Tasks are no longer accessible in the folder
pane so can't slide directly but carefully have to right-click and drag to
tasks icon down at bottom which opens the tasks in the navigation pane and
then up to the tasks at the top (M$ = 1 step forward, 2 steps backward with
version changes lol).
Unlike O2K, although I get my original message with attachments, yes, he
body of the message doesn't also get dumped, visible below the attached
message. This means that I have to open the email each and every time I
need to consult the context email sigh.
Still, can't lose the attachments so have to live with the loss of the
message unless I train myself to copy the contents of the email first before
the click and drag business to the tasks folder sigh. Might have to do
the extra work since it will be more work to open up every single email
message each time we need to check something. We must keep the attachment;
we don't need to access it vs. needing to see the content of the email.
(Why does M$ do these types of things?? There is no gain in this loss of
functionality. Unless I'm missing something [pls, pls let it be that I'm
missing something g])
Thanks. I really appreciate the help.

Try ctrl+drag or right click + drag to get attachments. It won't do both
though - you can get one or the other.

In O2K, if you drag an email message into the tasks folder, it duplicates
the message but also converts the original message into an attachment
within the task. Can someone advise me how to get that behaviour back in
OL2003, pls.
Thanks. D
