I am a *heavy* user of the Notepad feature (first to break 100 notes), but I've reached the point where navigating between so many notes and actually finding data has become very difficult. The best alternative I can think of (within Fastmail) is to use the Drafts folder.

Possible pros:
* Accessible both from the web interface and from email clients
* Saved data is searchable
* Supports Rich Text (HTML)
* Supports spell checking
* Possible to attach files
* Stores last editing date/time as well as size
* Easy sorting and filtering

Possible cons:
* Notes can't be used as Quick Note
* Clutters Drafts folder

Am I missing something? Is the Drafts folder really a better solution for storing and editing bits of text?

Prog.
