Entourage allows me to drag messages into the Note field, where they are expanded to Rich-Text. This works great (for me, at least). Mail.app doesn't do this - OF isn't "receptive" to this action. I wonder whether that would be "good enough" for many of us it it worked the same way as Entourage?

That definitely would not be good enough for me. I'm a complete keyboard junkie. I don't touch the mouse when processing email, and I need the action to link back to the message so I can reply to it. As I have Mail, OF, and QuickSilver configured now, I can hit ctrl-f to create a new action from the selected email. In OF, I can hit ctrl-f to open the email associated with an action, then Cmd-R to reply to it.
