Default Cut and paste email content into Contact record

I constantly cut and paste email content into the Contact record for that
individual. I am looking for an add-in, macro or utility to do this
automatically. That is, when I have an email open, I would like this macro
to automatically look-up the Contact, copy the content of the email into the
Contact General Tab's note box, date it, and eliminate all of the blank
lines. This allows me to keep a running chronology of all correspondence
with each Contact in the most obvious and convenient place. I do not want to
use the Activities tab which is extremely, extremly slow and cumbersome.
Does anyone know if this exists? Thanks, Mike

IŽve developed such an Addin for copying e-mails into tasks. It shouldnŽt be
a problem to change the code to work with contacts. Additionally IŽd have to
translate it into English, so if you do not find any ready-to-use tool then
send me an e-mail, please.

Michael, it would be great if you could change your add-in to work with
contacts. I would be happy to help compensate you for the translation too.
Thanks, Mike Car
