You would need a mechanism for putting all the email messages into a public
mail folder. (Auto CC with a rule?) Once you do that, you can set an
Activities group for the contacts folder to show the public mail folder on
the contact Activities tab.

Sue, that works great - Just out of curiosity, how does Outlook know
which activities to filter out and display on the form, is it based on
email address or name or a combination of both?

I haven't done any testing in that area, but I'm pretty sure it's the email
address.

I verified that and it is the email address. Outlook will associate
the email with the contact if an email matches the address of the
contacts email, email 2 or email 3 property.
Thanks,
