Initial: 8/25/2011
Update:  9/17/2011
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.

Install Notes:

- Run \Install\setup.exe

In order to upgrade, the install path must be exactly the same.

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

Otherwise, the add-in will need to be uninstalled before 
reinstalling.  Settings will not be lost.
