Create Flag for Follow Up from Create New Message Window

S

Scott Cardais

I want to flag certain emails for follow up with reminders.

So far, the only way I've been able to flag an email for follow up at a
future date and create a reminder is:

1. Create the email.
2. Send the email.
3. Open Sent email folder.
4. Select message
5. Flag for follow up.

I would prefer to flag the email for follow up in step 1 if there is a way
or a script to do this.

Thanks,

Scott C.

This script will flag the message of the frontmost window:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
save window 1
set theMessage to displayed message of window 1
set flagged of theMessage to true
end tell

Save the script as a compiled script & put it in the ŒEntourage Script Menu
Items¹ folder in your ŒMicrosoft User Data¹ folder. The script can be
manually run from the menu or called with a keyboard command if you name the
script appropriately.

Not sure if I should be replying to or the newsgroup.

This script is not flagging my email messages. I am using Entourage 2004 if
that makes a difference.

I was able to compile the script and save it as you instructed. The script
appears in my Applescripts menu as Flag Email.

If I run the script when I am composing an email, it saves as draft. When I
send the message, it is not flagged in my Sent Mail folder.

Ideally, I would like to Flag for Follow up (2nd option under FLAG pull down
menu) not just Flag.

Thanks for your help.
