As I said, I would rather keep email in a seperate application.
Personally, I have an MGTD project for work items that are larger than
a single action. To keep track of the "thread", I edit the notes
section of the project, often using the {t} notation so a date/time
stamp is automatically entered. For example:
{t} Mailed Tracey with price of new software.
and I might create a waiting action "Tracey to email comments re
software price".
Then I see the action on my waiting actions list in the dashboard. To
see the status of the project or update it, I click on the "[P]" next
to the action, and up comes the project, with the notes telling me the
whole status. It works well for me.
