SYMPTOMS
You use the right mouse button to drag an e-mail message to the Tasks folder or to the Tasks shortcut in Microsoft Outlook. When you click Move here as attachment, closing the newly-created task item without saving the item deletes the e-mail message.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because you moved (not copied) the message to the Tasks folder, and you then deleted the object that you attached the message to in the Tasks folder.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, either retrieve the message from the Deleted Items folder manually, or use the Undo Delete command from the Edit menu to restore the deleted item.
