So, it just sounds like something big ;-)
Can you advice me on how should I approach the problem I just described?
What I exactly want is to provide users with an ability to initiate and
support a conversation around a subject described in an Outlook item without
sending that item back'n'forth. Something like a set (possibly hierarchical)
of "sticky notes" attached to the item that everybody (who is participating)
can see and add. Sorry if the description is too vague. I'm just meditating
on the idea but an advice would be highly appreciated.

TIA,

Vladimir
