Sometimes I have a task involving an email to be sent at a future time.for example, appealing an insurance claim but I have to wait for the detailed denial first. Or pestering my elected representative but not wanting to hit her with all my issues in the same day. In these cases, if I have time, I will compose a draft of the message in the task notes section, so it will be there when the task comes due.
If I'm drafting a message to send now, I would not use MLO to do it. I use k9 on the phone and outlook on the laptop so I don't have the synching of drafts that Lisa has. Of i'm confident of completing the draft in one sitting I will use native email composition, otherwise Evernote. Why Evernote versus MLO? (1) it's faster to get in and pull I up the last thing I was working on (2) Evernote's handling on Android of synch conflicts works much better than MLO's.

I use MLO only for information relating to the task I have to accomplish, for various reasons: - Habit - Once a task is done, I often don't keep it, so anything I want kept around I put into a different system. - I go by the philosophy, if an action only takes a few minutes, just do it, so usually I send the small emails immediately - If I compose an email I want to put in the To: and Subject: and can't paste those easily from MLO - I often work on multiple platforms and my drafts folder for gmail propagates to all If a bit of info needs filing (e.g. movie and book recommendations) and I don't have time to do it immediately, I do put it in MLO. On the other hand, this means that many tasks that show in email are not integrated / captured in MLO for me, so I have two systems, which is not ideal and drives me crazy but I don't have a good solution that I've been able to maintain reliably. I do OTOH keep all info related to my task system in MLO. Outlines of what I want to do to rearrange my tasks, etc. I use Evernote for persistent info/lists (except task templates, such as packing lists which I use MLO trees as templates).

In those cases, who use to "outsource" the process in another software (Evernote, Onenote, Outlook,), and who drafts his note into the note section of a task within MLO ? I'd be very interested in someone else experience, pros and cons. Sometime, I say to myself : separate the "organizing my todos" and the "doing them". Thus, I write notes in Evernote or Onenote. But that make more "steps", and sometime in a mobile context, the links toward Evernote are not working on android, and I prefer to draft the text in MLO, and copy/paste it in a mail, a word document or whatever when the task consist of writing it out.
