Here's to hoping a developer from Microsoft is reading this.
Hi KerrieAnn, to put a NOTE on an email with details to assist in deciphering at quick glance what your follow up details are, simply *1) open the email and (2) click on the "Follow Up Red Flag" by right clicking the email or at the top on the ribbon, in the middle and then (3) select "Add Reminder" and a box will open up where you can (4) type a NOTE for yourself only on the line that says "Flag To". This will appear at the top of that email for you to view as you click on the email and will NOT show to any recipient should you forward that email. It is very helpful.
I have uploaded 3 images (I cant make smaller for some reason):
1- The flag and reminder
2- the box that appears when you set the reminder/where to type your note
3- How the NOTE appears in your inbox = you can see the note at the top for YOUR viewing only.

Hi Jess, Thank you so much this is helpful! I agree it would be nice if Microsoft would add the feature that Excel has, mentioned below. I do not use the New Outlook, that is unfortunate that it will not be available. Here's to hoping they improve the future versions and add it. Sounds like quite a few of us would appreciate it.
