Sometimes people forget to write descriptive subjects when they send
mail. Sometimes they just drop some files there and send a message with a
blank body. And if the attached files have names like 1.doc, your
chances to find that mail later are almost null. Unfortunately, Gmail
doesn't have an annotation feature that would let you insert some
comments in a mail you've just received. To make sure you'll find that
messages, you could send a reply to yourself that contains a small
description of the attachments.
It's a small compensation until Gmail has an option to search the contents of attachments.

You don't need to reply to annotate a message. This is how I do it:
Click reply to the message you want to add keywords to
Enter the keywords in the new message's body
Save as draft
Connect to Gmail using an IMAP-client
Using the IMAP-client, move the message from Drafts to the folder (label) where the original message is stored.
Now they are grouped together in a conversation with the same label (folder) and you can search for your keywords. And none of them is a draft that you might accidently edit or send.
