Yes. You expect a folder memo to show up in a field for message memos.
The memo field that you can enable in the message list is for message memos.
To enter a message memo, right-click on it (in the list) and choose 'Memo Editor'. Or click in its memo field. Or turn Memo Autoview on (menu Workspace, Ctrl-Shft-I).
