Wondering if anyone had an opinion on this?

'Is there a way to put an email in follow up, or some such mechanism, rather
than having to keep it in the inbox and be continually reviewing it for a
reply?'

Hi Happy:

What exactly are you looking for? I don't keep posts over 10 days old. If
you want to save it and insert it at any time, then File | Save As | Save as
a .txt file. Insert | Text From File in a new message. {Somehow, I don't
think that's what you're looking for though}.

No, what I was hoping to do is have a "bring forward" method. Currently when
sending an email, I bcc myself, and this bcc sits in my inbox until the
matter is resolved. I am afraid if I put it in a subject file for the person
or issue, it will get missed. At least the inbox gets reviewed regularly.
My other method is to use a reminder program, which pops up a reminder to
deal with a particular issue. If this could all be done in the OE framework,
it would be easier.

I don't know of anything to do *exactly* what you want, but maybe a message
rule?

Create a folder *My BCC*?

Where the To and CC line contains people
Move it to the specified folder
Click Specified Folder and Select the new one
Click Contains People and add your address
Check Options and change to Does Not Contain

Your BCCs will go to this folder, but unfortunately, so will all other BCCs.

Just a thought. Maybe it will give you an idea.

Outlook lets you assign flag(s) to items for action in a specified
number of days by using a rule. Outlook Express is not Outlook (i.e.,
OE's rules are very simplistic and OE doesn't have the feature set of
Outlook).
