I would like to jump in here and add my 2 cents here. I have been
asking for this since I started with the bat, and recall that some
think it is a bad thing to be able to edit, so no one can. The memo
function is a work around at best. Another example is that I will get
a list of phone messages
Joe called
Sam called
Yolanda called
etc. I would like to be able to edit the message, so that I can make
notes
Joe called
- wants me to come for dinner
Sam called
- he can't make meeting tomorrow
Yolanda called
- got her answering machine
That way, I can tell what I've accomplished, who I haven't even called
back, and who wasn't reached just by looking at the original message.
Dragging the message back and forth to the outbox every time I reach
someone would be a colossal hassle, and the memo box doesn't keep the
info in a way that it tracks.
