Can I create a E-mail in Outlook that will create an Automatic Task

[Jack58]

Is it possible to create an Outlook 2000 message form that will allow me to set a Task automatically to remind myself of an important event that the e-mail is pertaining to. I send MANY e-mails daily, which require some type of a follow-up. I get so busy with many other tasks and have a hard time remembering all the Questions or Tasks I have out in the E-mail. I would like to be able to Automatically Assign a Task to my E-mail (without having to Cut and Copy into the Task), which would call a reminder to call my attenuation.

The reminder in a Task to what I would like in this E-mail message.

Any help that I could get would be grateful.

Hi,
Here's one suggestion: Select your email message and drag it to your Calendar folder. An event will pop up for you to fill in and the email body will be stored in the event.

Another option I use quite a bit is to "flag" the email(right click/follow up) then set the "Due By" date and time for a reminder. I use this method so I can sort by the "flag" icon and pull all mail that is flagged to the top.
