I also drag emails into calendar and tasks and notes. I have the same
problem everytime - the attachment doesn't follow. Good idea or not - can it
be done?
(Yes- I use the activities tab, but if I want to delete the email, the
activities tab won't help. Again, I only want to keep a small portion of the
email and the attachment on the front page of the contact form.)

You would never want to store messages in a Contacts Folder. You store
messages in message folders.
Why not use the Activities Tab in Contacts to create links to the email
associated with a Contact? That's what it's for. Outlook does that for you
automatically and dynamically.

I am moving email into my contacts. I drag emails to the contacts icon on
the navigation pane when I don't want to keep the email in a folder, but I
want to save some of the information from the email in my contacts.
Dragging
opens a new contact and automatically fills in some of the areas. I can
then
save just the signature or other information. What I want is to have
attachment links from the email show in the body of the contact area, so I
can access them from that location. Dragging saves a lot of time for me
when
it comes to creating contacts, but not if I have to cut and past
attachments.

I would assume you are not trying to move messages into the Contacts
Folder.

When I drag emails to contacts, the attachments are only listed in the
contact body; they are not actually attached. I can cut and paste the
attachment, but I would like the attachments to show up automatically.
Is
there anyway to do this?
