How do I flag an email for followup? I can accomplish in XP at work. But
cannot in Vista at home.

Thanks,

Right click the empty part of the column names bar, and click "Columns" to
then put a check in "Flags"

Thanks, Mark.
I would like to be able to have a specific email show up as a reminder on a
specific date in the future. In XP there is an icon called "Actions" with one
option called "followup". When I select that option, I can enter a date and
time to have that email show up to remind me to act on its content. Any ideas?

Thanks again,

There are scripting methods to create and send an email, and scheduled tasks
could run that, but Windows Mail or Live Mail does not have the feature that
Outlook Express had for that.
