I am trying to insert an email into a Word document.  My expectation
is that it would appear as an envelpe icon in the document wherever my
cursor is when I do the insert.  I have tried cut and paste and only
get the first few text lines going into the document.  I have tried
the insert function from Word and have tried to save an email as a
file and then insert but can not get the expected results.

I tried saving it as .txt, .rtf, .msg, and outlook template and was
not able to insert any of these formats into a Word doc where it
appeared as an outlook attachment in the form of an envelope.  Results
from the insert attempts varied from showing the first few lines of
text to just putting a bunch of ascii characters in the document.

Are you saving the email as a .msg file?  If you do that, you should
be able to insert it into the Word document.

Have you tried this:
Go to 'Insert', 'object',
Select the 'Create from file' tab,
Browse, then select your file,
Check off the 'display as icon' checkbox. 
Then 'change icon'  Here you would have to have an icon of an
envelope, then you can browse and use that for the icon.

BTW, you can probably find envelope icons already on your computer by
using the search feature for '.ico'.
