Outlook Messages with Word Attachments

I hate getting emails at work with Word attachments. It just takes too long to open the attachment especially when the content could have been easily included in the message. Let's make a pact that any time we have a meeting agenda, job posting, etc. that has minimal formatting, we will copy and paste it into the message instead. Outlook is smart enough to know what to do with it (most of the time) and it will save everybody some time.

Quickly Filing Email in Outlook

I used to keep a ton of folders in Outlook. Any time I would file away an email, I would have to decide which folder it went in, scroll to that folder, and drop it in. But what if it belonged to more than one folder?

I finally found a great solution in Taglocity. Now whenever I get an email, I just hit Ctrl-T, tag it with one more tags, then file it into a folder called "Archive". Then if I need to find something, I just go to my Archive folder and filter by one or more tags.

By the way, I am not being paid to endorse any of these products (although I wish I were.) When I found a time-saving utility or process, I just like to share it with others.
