**Describe the problem you would like to solve**  
Sometimes emails are exchanged outside of OJS. Later, the editor might want to keep a centralized record of email exchanges in OJS. “Notes”, under Activity Log & Notes, is one way of recording arbitrary information. Unfortunately, it discards text formatting, including newlines.

**Describe the solution you’d like**  
Notes could support basic text formatting, either the “HTML email” subset or enriched text.

**Who is asking for this feature?**  
Journal Editor.

**Additional information**  
“Review Discussions” could be an alternative, as it already supports basic text formatting, if it allowed saving messages without actually sending an email.
