> This is similar to what I had in mind, but a bit of overkill.  Isimply want an "Insert timestamp" option.  For instance, when I starta new note, I would like to have "Note started on Friday, 15 June 2007@ 11:02 am EST".  Then later in the note I would "Insert timestamp" topaste in the time I started an edit.  This would be useful if I have anote that includes meeting notes from various meetings over time.
