Thank you. I've now checked both these things, and it is interesting to
note.

I've actually just found something that is extremely useful, and fits
our needs here perfectly. It is an extension for TB 2.0 called XNotes.
If anyone is interested to see it or download it, it can be found at:

https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/thunderbird/addon/3093

It allows one write a message to oneself, which will be linked with a
particular mail. 

Best would be if one could write right in the mail itself. But failing
that, this is quite good.

My search remains though-- if anyone comes across a mail application
that allows one to write in the mail that has come into the inbox,
please let me know. When I receive letters in other languages like
Spanish, I like to look up new words and put the definition where the
word appears in the mail. That way if I review the mail 6 months from
now, I will be able to quickly understand what the word means.

Many thanks,
Regards,
Swarup
