Set reminder for tomorrow in a new message in less than 5 clicks?

[OahuRE]

When I have a message in my inbox or any other folder, if I click on the
tomorrow flag, a reminder is automatically set for 9am the following day.

However, when I do the same thing when composing a new message it does not
set a reminder.

It takes me 5 clicks to set the reminder for a new message I am sending. As
I send a lot of Email that I want to follow-up on the next day, I would like
to reduce the 5 clicks to one click or a hot key. Suggestions?

Which version of Outlook are you using? Outlook 2007?
The shortcut key for adding a reminder is CTRL+SHIFT+G.

You can also directly click Follow Up-> Add a Reminder...-> OK which is 3
clicks away.
To save another click, you can add the Add a Reminder command to the QAT.
To save all clicks, press ALT+# (where # represents the number that is
listed for the command in the QAT) and then ENTER.

To set your default reminder time, right click on the flag column in the
main Outlook window and choose Set Quick Click...

Thanks, I am now down to 3 clicks, or 3 keyboard steps.

There is not an Add a Reminder command that can be added to the QAT.
I can only find a Follow-Up command when I look at all commands. So
hitting Alt-# allows me to do it in 3 keyboard steps, but still not
one click or one hot key. However, I am finding the keyboard steps
faster, so that is very helpful.

Is there any way to assigning my 3 keyboard steps to one hot key. I
now can do it hitting Alt-# - R – Enter.

3 keyboard steps is better than 5 clicks so I am moving in the right
direction.

You're right, it's only available as an entire menu; sorry about that.
No, the only way to do this faster would be to use VBA I'm afraid.
