In my todo list, I like to refer to email messages based on the date they were received so I can simply find the message at a later point.
For example,
- Follow up locking issue (see Peter's email 25th Feb 2014 18:04)
Rather than transcribing the message date by hand, I'd rather copy it from the mail message and paste it into Notes but this doesn't seem possible.
There is no selection cursor when I hover over the date, just a "grab hand".
Are there any tricks to copying a mail message's date to the clipboard?

This doesn't get you the date in text format, but when I grab using that grab hand cursor I can drag it into notes. There is then an icon with the subject of the email which, when clicked opens that email (albeit in a new window).
Might be helpful.
