Sorry, the title doesn't clearly say much . . . I am a now-former user of Filterize and one of the things it did was allow me to import a bunch of documents (mainly PDFs such as letters with the date of the letter) into EN and append the title of the note to include the date of the letter. For example, I can import a letter dated 23 January 2015 and the title of the note would say 2015-01-23 blahblahbla. It would pull the date from the attachment, not the date the file was created in EN or the date the attachment was created. This was fantastic for me because I have boxes and boxes of stuff I'm trying to archive and catalog and I'd like to be able to create a chronological timeline inside each notebook simply by sorting the contents by title. Does anyone have any ideas how to do such a thing easily? Any tips, suggestions or insight is appreciated. It's a shame Filterize is gone and it would be great if the folks at Evernote would incorporate some of the great tools that I happily paid Filterize to use each month (yes, this is a hint!!). Thanks!

I agree with PinkElephant and perhaps I used a bad choice of worse words when saying archive. I really use it to follow up on emails on some future date. However in order to help me know which date and to refresh my memory about the topic, having the date of the original email and the recipients would be helpful. I was just wondering if there’s a clever way to either add a date and a recipient to the Evernote note without having to separately forward a copy of the message to myself.

So, in thinking about this more, as DTLow pointed out, when forwarding, the forwarding header info is stripped out leaving the original header. As agsteele points out, things differ from client to client. I tried to bcc myself on an email because I want to set a reminder to follow up but what ended up in EN was the subject line in the title field and the body of the message in the body of the note. That's good but is there a clever way to get the date and recipient of the email into EN? without having to circle back and forward stuff to myself? Adding my EN address as a bcc is simple but I send a number of emails out each day and would like to use EN to follow up but I will not likely be able to keep everything straight if the date and name of the recipient is missing. Any insight is appreciated!

Hmm. I looked at my mail client and it seems to have been doing something more along the lines of a "redirect" than forward. If I forward it directly, DTLow is right, only the forward header lines are stripped. Thanks for the insight!

Hi. Perhaps I'm missing something in a simple setting but I've been thinking about using EN to archive some emails but it seems that I have a dilemma when it comes to parts of the email such as the "to:", "from:" and other data. If I forward the message to my EN address, only the subject and the body of the message make its way into the note so one cannot see when the message was sent/received or to/from whom it was sen/received. If I forward as an attachment, it shows up as an .eml file which means I can't search it. This seems pretty obvious so I'm prepared to feel foolish if someone tells me there's a simple setting switch I've overlooked but I can't seem to figure this out. Is there a simple way to get messages into EN with the other data included? I can see why one would want this stuff stripped for other purposes (such as forwarding oneself a note) but if there is a way to do both, it would seem pretty awesome. Thanks for any insight/help!!
