Outlook macro

Dear Expert,

Needing help with a macro in Outlook 2010 to accomplish the following when I have highlighted a email from the email list:

1. Create a task with both email content (maintain original format) and add email attachment at beginning of task.
1.1 Include in the first part of above step the general info missing within the body of the email:
   a. The date sent details.
   b. The sender info
   c. To:, CC: info
   d. the subject.
2. Set Tast Start Date to "today"
3. Set priority to "Low"
4. Leave Task open for me to continue editing as needed.

In following expert request I will request to convert this task into its original email. Perhaps use the attached email attachment?

Best regards,
JP

Many thanks for the help.
I will open another question to address the creation of more than one macro in Outlook.
I am at basic level with Macros in Outlook.

You're welcome!
Dear BlueDevilFan.
Do you get messages for answered questions by any chance?

I just noticed that the above macro creates a Task only shows up under To-Do-List and I would like to have it show up under Tasks section. What should I do?
Note: I have two email accounts. I want it under the email account I receive it under,
Otherwise, could we just hard code the specific task folder where I want them to appear in?
Should I create a new question?
Br,

Hi, JP.

I do.  

I'm not sure I understand.  The code creates the task in the default task folder.  Are you saying that you want the code to look at which account the source email came in through and create the task in the task folder associated with that account?
You will notice that in the Task window there is a first section for "to do lists" - these are "mail tasks". Meaning that if you delete that type of task later, then you also erase the email. But if the task is instead created in "task" section of this window, then there is no relationship to the original plus certain time management phone apps just pick up "tasks" and not "to do list".

Thanks!
