Hi, Alex.  I won't comment on the missing Outlook: protocol as Christoph has 
thay covered.

I find that email content appears nicely in the task note for most of the 
emails I drag to MLO but sometimes it doesnt. Plain text emails almost always 
work some html emails do and some don't.  I think it's something about 
complexity. For emails ewhose content does not appear, a small tap on the 
embedded link quickly opens the original email. 

Let's talk about sorts. Through version three, MLO offered an outline view and 
several to-do views. The outline view showed the whole outline with the items 
in the order in which they had been placed - think of it as the order of 
physical storage. Each to-do view showed a filtered selection of tasks in a 
flat display sorted into a specified order. One of the choices for ordering is 
"manual". It's important to note that manual ordering is not at all the same 
thing as physical ordering.

MLO 4 introduced filtered outlines. Sorting in filtered outlines only applies 
to the top level of the hierarchy. Any hierarchy below the top level is shown 
in physical order. An unfiltered outline contains a "root" item that you can't 
see and is the only item at its level; sorting one item is meaningless, so what 
you get is a display where everything is in physical order. 

When you drop a new task or tasks into a task list, MLO has to determine two 
thing:where to place the new items physically in the outline and where to show 
them in the current view. Placement comes first. If you have the cursor between 
two items you will see a blue line. The new items will be placed as siblings 
below the item above the line, or will be placed as siblings above the item 
below the line, depending on the direction of the arrows at the ends of the 
line. If the cursor is on a task, the task background turns blue and the new 
items will be added an subtasks of the highlighted task, after (I think) any 
existing subtasks. If the new tasks pass the filter for the current display, 
they will be displayed according to the current sort criteria.  For manual 
sort, the desired positioning for the new items is considered unknown so they 
default to the bottom.

Suggestions:
1. I believe that it would make sense to request an enhancement, making the 
order for new task in a manually sorted view default to physical order rather 
than "bottom". But there's no guarantee that this would be implemented soon. Or 
ever.

2. I think you would get results closer to what you want if you used physical 
instead of manual order. To do this you would need to create a folder and move 
all of the task you are managing this way into the folder. Make sure that all 
subtasks are in the first level below the folder - no additional hierarchy.  
You can also move in other tasks as long as you can define a filter that 
selects the tasks you want to display. Now, create a new view that starts with 
the "All Tasks" view - zoom in to your new folder and then save the view and 
give it a name. Make sure that no sort order is specified, so it will default 
to physical. Then arrange the tasks into the desired order. Now you should be 
able to drop new Outlook (or other) tasks into this view and they should stay 
where you put them.
