Allow "sticky notes" reminders as in older versions of Outlook.

[Bill Long]

Outlook 2003 (and 2007) should allow the user to select the older format of
"sticky notes" reminders which can be "stacked" and positioned on the screen,
instead of placing all of them in a single box. When a reminder comes due,
it pops to the foreground, and can then be repositioned. That is, let the
user decide the format.

What "sticky notes" are you referring to? I don't recall any function like that in any prior version of Outlook?

I think he's referring to the Desktop Alert.

Oops. Not Desktop Alert, but the reminder window.

I think he means individual reminders instead of the unified reminders
window.

Thanks everyone - I was thinking about the Outlook Notes that are never sticky and not worth very much.
