Due to the lack of Apple's mail.app having a function of annotating mails (can't understand why such a basic feature is missing in Apple's only mail program), I use the todo function, to annotate my mails as a work around.
- I mark a mail,
- click some text within the mail preview,
- right click the text and choose new todo in the context menu
- Then I write my annotation to the mail into the designated todo, linked to this mail.
Since a few days (last OS X update ?), this function is completely broken.
I can do all the above and everything looks fine until I leave that mail.
When I come back to that mail, my annotation is deleted and the todo text is the same as the one word, I have selected, to create the todo in the first step.
I have no idea, how I can annotate my mails now properly without jumping hoops.
My workaround at the moment is, to use things.app and create a todo in things.app, linked to the mail.
APPLE, PLEASE FIX MAIL.APP - implement a proper annotation function, implement automatic calendar event creation with alarm and all, to automatically remind me on that event!
It is quite annoying, to have to shift+cmd+c click every time, to bring up the color picker, to mark a mail instead of having a set of 4 colors in the context menu or menu bar for this very, very basic function.
