Without arguing the merits of editing received msgs, I have a
similar situation & this is how I work around it.
I have a tech notes folder & I put tech email notes from many
programs in there. For each entry I add a memo & I insert a
short description starting with program - problem - solution on
one line. Then I add memos to folder columns & sort on it so all
program problems are grouped together.
I'm sure you've thought of this but I thought I'd mention it
anyway.

Obviously I live w this part of the problem.
