I'm not sure what TB's abilities for this are, but (as a programmer) I
wouldn't recommend your plan. That's a lot of text to be sticking into
a note, which I (personally) would consider un-searchable.
What _might_ be better (_if_ the eMail program must serve, in this way)
is to send yourself an eMail for notation...something like:
From:PBallantyne
To:PBallantyne
Subj: Consultations
Text: Talked with John Smith about...
-OR-
Subj: Sermons
Text: Gospel of Thomas and other apocryphal Coptic works
-OR-
Subj: Meetings
Text: John Smith raised the issue of the old roof...
The eMail has the added benefit of being automatically dated, and you
gain the advantages of filters, folders, & threading to
organize those eMails, say filter by Subj: ("vertically", by
activities), and use the Virtual Folder feature to search
"horizontally" in the text for particular topics, such as Message
Source containing "Smith". And use the threading (replies to related
eMails) to group closely related activities.
