Yes, your are correct. I personally don't ever bother with it, but I've
known a couple of other people that do and they called it 'red flagging'. If
the OP really meant the 'flag shape', then no joy for him! The coloured
'flag shape' seems to be available for received messages only, opened in a
new window. Not really very useful...eh?

It gets a red exclamation mark but no flag. It never has.

||||| when you open Outlook, open and new, blank email, click on the

||||| box called "Flag Color." I have not been able to find anywhere
||||| on the net on how you exactly "un-gray" this box so you can
