Default How do I insert a date into the Outlook contact text box

I am using the outlook large white text field on the standard contact form to
track the date and time that I have communicated with my contacts. Typing
the date each time I make an new entry is time consuming. I'd like to put a
button on the form that when clicked would insert the current date/time at
the position of the curser. How might this be accomplished.

Unless you use Word as your e-mail editor or Redemption
(http://www.dimastr.com), you cannot control the insertion point of text by
the position of the cursor.

But you could trivially use the EM_REPLACESEL with SendMessage (use
FindWindowEx to find the rich text window on the Inspector).
