Outlook-some messages can be set as "stickies" at tops of folders

[Amy #6]

I think Outlook should allow for particular messages that a user selects to
be set as "stickies" or "post-it" messages and will always remain at the top
of a folder, no matter how the folder is sorted.

This sort of idea is implemented in many forums across the web -- important
"post-it" messages are kept at the top for easy access for all users. (See
http://www.l2orphus.com/forum/index.php?showforum=31 as a good forum example)

As an example, if you keep a folder full of sales contacts, you should be
able to "post-it" a generic sales letter that each new sales contact would
recieve. That way, the generic sales letter would always be able to be
easily found at the top of the folder and you could still sort the rest of
the emails however you'd like.

If you have a generic sales letter you should probably create it as a
template or form and access it from there rather than storing it in a folder
per se. However, you could always precede the subject line with a character
like a "!" and then sort by subject. Or set the priority to High for those
messages and sort by priority.

you can still store the template in the folder - at least if it's a mail
folder - it makes it easier to get at than going through the file system. Or
create a folder called Templates and store all in it.
