MS Outlook 2003: Unable to restore Archived Note.

I use notes alot with my Pocket PC, and sync them back into Outlook 2003 throughout the day. They generally contain various text, doodles, and a few voice-recordings. Recently, the auto-archive feature in MS Outlook 2003 kicked-in and moved them to an archive folder. Not a big deal, until you try and restore them.

With everything else in MS Outlook, you can just open the Folder View, and locate the items in the PST folders and drag/drop them back into the non-archived area. However, with Notes, this feature works only with Text-only notes, but not with Recordings or what I call "Doodle-Notes" (notes containing drawings). Instead of allowing copy/paste, it only allows copying of the meta-data about the recording or note-drawing.

Here is an example of a doodle restored from archive:

Very Annoying!
