Hi JerryK,
Yes, TreeProjects does warn you if you’re editing a document inline when exiting (i.e. in the “edit” tab), but there’s no such warning if you’re editing it externally, and no recovery attempt based on temp files from the previous session. I added this issue to the issue tracker.

Take a free tool like http://taskcoach.org - you can drag and drop an Outlook Email into it. Then you can right click the new item in Taskcoach -> open attachment - which opens the original email in Outlook.
Using a tool like Treeprojects, I’d want to manage “everything” within its interface. So I’d want to manage information relating to various work projects - which for me would always include various email threads - then I’d generally have a need to reply/forward something relating to some email, and rather than have to go and search for it in Outlook, I’d want to be able to simply launch any specific email from Treeprojects, like I can do with Taskcoach. Or Mind Manager, or TaskMerlin, or many others ...

So just being able to copy/paste the content of an email is not much use (to me).
