Follow-up Flags and reminders

I've noticed that when I flag an email I'm composing for follow-up, it
doesn't show up in the "Items for follow-up" listing. The only way I've
found to make this happen is to send the email, then go to Sent items and
then flag the email for follow-up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
That is by design, to avoid spamming recipients with quick flags and
reminders.

Thanks for the information. Do you (or anyone) know if there is any way to
accomplish my objective of flagging an email as I compose it so that it shows
up in "For Follow Up" in my "Favorite Folders"?

Use VBA and set a category. Sue Mosher (www.outlookcode.com) wrote a VBA
sample:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)

If Item.Class = olMail And Item.Categories = "green" Then

Item.FlagIcon = olGreenFlagIcon

Item.FlagStatus = olFlagMarked

Item.Categories = ""

End If

End Sub
