Add Contact Details to Task for Outlook Integration

When I have a task in SFDC and it is synch'ed into Outlook, none of the contact information (such as name, telephone number, etc.) is brought in. This means that I have to put the contact name in each task or I will have several "Follow-up" tasks in Outlook that I don't know what they mean.

TCC 12/28/06	We need this anytime a task is assigned. Right now they have to look up the name, address, phone, etc. every time before they can follow up on the task.
TaxTechSalesGuy 05/04/07	Not having this functionality severely limits the utility of the Outlook Task synchronization, to the point where I just don't bother.
john_worrell Jun 12	Absolutely necessary! There is limited information mapped into Outlook for Tasks and Events. I am thinking about creating several "roll-up" fields...too much work! I need to be able to map Account Name, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Subject all to the Outlook Subject Field... Additionally, have the option to select the Contact Address for the Outlook Location field. This one is basic!
vancinad Nov 17	I agree with TaxTechSalesGuy. Without this feature, task synchronization is pretty pointless.
