Henk: I'm using FF, so the part about this not working in IE isn't a problem. As I understand it, you have the VB macro in Outlook that drops the message ID into the clipboard. But then do you just paste that ID into a tiddler from the clipboard? In other words, the TW plugin you mention just acts on the ID in the tiddler? Despite my reference to FileDropPlugin, I think I'd prefer not to be forced to have the TW file open just to associate an email message to the TW.
Anthony: I was thinking about creating an Outlook macro that saves a selected message(s) to an "email" folder for the chosen TW. That way, as email messages come in that I want to associate with a specific TW file, I could execute a macro to save the message to a specific location in msg format. When I'm in the TW file, I could access the email messages. Obviously, creating a macro in Outlook to facilitate the process wouldn't be required, but for my purposes, I think it would speed things along considerably.
