DSA v1.0.4

TaskFromMail Description:

This Outlook Add-In adds two buttons to the right-click context 

menu in Outlook ("Create Task..." and "Append to task...").

Clicking the Create Task button will create a new task, and attach  

the selected email message to the new task.  The subject line of 

the new task will reflect the subject line of the selected message. 

Clicking the "Append to task..." button will append the message to 

an existing task in the folder of your choosing.

Use Notes:

- Hold CTRL while clicking 'Create Task...' or 'Append to task...'

  to bypass default and force the task folder selection window.

- Alternatively, ClearSettings.reg will remove any saved settings.

- On the 'Select Task' dialog, items are grouped according to their

  first category only.

If you installed from C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\TFM1.0\Install
