feature idea: annotating messages

Hi *,

just a random thought:
One feature I'd really like to see is being able to write annotations to
the messages stored in Zoe. 

Nothing spectacular, just plain-text or HTML, but searchable as well
(with the possibility to exclude the annotations and only search through
the original message text, or to search only in the annotations).
On the next level, associations to parts of messages would be nice...

The navigation also doesn't need to be complex - just an additional link
on the "side bar" in the message view when an annotation exists, maybe
an additional icon or different color code in the message list/search
result view when a message has an associated annotation.

>From my point of view, this would make Zoe much more complete and
useful. (But then again, I firmly believe that the ability to comment on
and annotate objects would greatly improve many systems, from email
clients/web browsers to filesystems...

Is something like this on the roadmap? Has anyone else thought about it,
or started to work on it?

Any pointers where in the code I should start looking if I want to
implement it?

TIA,

	Michael.
