Choose 'yes' and if there is no reply from that person in x days, it sends the exact same email again, and again, and again, until the person either responds or tells you to f*** off. :) I want e-mail that has a ‘Do you need a reply to this?’ setting.

I prefer to scan my lists when I have time, and not have them interrupt me when I don't. Ivan, the problem I have with reminders is that they tend to interrupt something else I’m doing.

I also like the other pointers that you have on this blog. I thought of sharing what I do often and that helped me for this scenario. I make a copy to myself or copy message from sent folder to respective folder that I have for conversation type and then flag to myself. It is a one click feature on latest version of Outlook program.Personal flags can be color coded and mails can be sorted by flags / follow ups. Thre is also a favorite view for follow up emails that lists all available/pending emails - thats pretty neat. Thats a great trick. I also like the other pointers that you have on this blog.
