outlook 2007 undocumented feature: tracked conversations

[pendolino]

i am posting this after having scoured the web and microsoft's help
resources to no avail looking for an explanation for the following
label at the top of my emails in Outlook 2007 (running on XP):

"This message is part of a tracked conversation. Click here to find
all related messages or to open the original flagged message."

My best guess is that this is a (undocumented) feature that informs
the user that the message is part of something they have been paying
attention to that was flagged earlier.

I would like to know if this would still show up if the message flag
was changed, removed or marked complete.

It would be useful to know the ins and outs in general but so far it
seems to make sense. I wonder if Entourage 2008 has the same or
similar functionality (I use outlook on windows xp running on
parallels on a macbook).

Anyone have any insights here?

Are you using any addins, such as BCM or Office Communicator? It's not a
feature of Outlook and normal flagging doesn't add a tracking info bar.
