Set a message flag

Flagging a message is a quick way for you to either mark a message to follow up or mark a message with a request for someone else. When the recipient receives a message with a flag, a comment on the purpose of the flag appears at the top of the message. If you set a due date, this will also appear.

  1. Display the message header by sending a database object as an attachment or sending a data access page as the body of an e-mail message.

  2. Click Flag for Follow Up .

  3. In the Flag to box, select one of the flags from the list or type your own.

    To clear a flag you've already set, click Clear Flag.

  4. In the Reminder box, select a date or type your own to set a due date.
