Suggestion: Outlook desktop alerts - hide confidential messages

[AndyK]

Outlook 2003 shows desktop alerts when new mail arrives, displaying the
sender and first few lines of the message. This is great... except when
someone sends you a confidential message, and someone else is leaning over
your shoulder looking at something on your screen at the time. If the sender
has marked the message "confidential", the desktop alert should simply say
"new mail" without the sender's name of any of the content.

Good suggestion. I have marked "I Agree".
