Outlook is missing a great feature that I really miss from Lotus Notes - the
smart way you could choose "follow this up on" and select the date. The
message would leave your inbox, removing clutter, and then pop it back in as
a new message with the subject preceeded by "Follow up:" on the date you
specified. So simple and convenient!

I know there is a follow up flag system for Outlook, but it's not as neat or
user-friendly. I just love knowing the eMail will appear as new in my inbox
when I need it.

which version of Outlook do you have as there have been improvements in this
area.

It is Outlook 2003 (11.8118.8132) SP2

Am I on too old of a version? How does it work on the newer one?

Cheers,
Shaun

The current version, 2007, does a better job of flagging emails and
displaying them on the To Do bar than older versions.
