Allowing sent messages to be mark for Reminders

[Lance]

In both Outlook 2000 and 2003 I'm unable to send a
message and flag it for follow up, and have the follow up
create a pop reminder on the date I sent it. This seems
like what should be a standard feature. I send lots of e-
mails with lots of assignments, and would like to be
reminded when it is time to follow up on those e-mails.

Does anyone know how to get this done?

By default, reminders only fire from the original Inbox, Calendar,
Contacts and Tasks folders in the default mail store (the set of folders
where your mail is delivered). They don't fire from the Sent Items
folder.

There's a 3rd party add-in available for Outlook 2000 (configured in
Corporate/Workgroup mode), Outlook 2002, and Outlook 2003 that will add
reminder functionality to most other folders in the default mail
store...look here:

Unfortunately, Extended Reminders cannot be used with the Internet Mail
Only mode of Outlook 2000.
