Not specifically -- yours just happened to be the one that triggered it, but no, I see this in postings from other people as well.

But hey, tell news ;-) See other reply -- I'm not complaining that Outlook is broken but rather that the misuse of this flag slows down my workflow. The issue is that because this flag is useful when used properly (e.g.: for mail rules like "take all messages flagged for followup and move them to specific other folders for different types of followup"), having the flag be added to emails just for the sake of putting in a "humorous" message just gets in the way. (I keep needing to go fish the incorrectly-flagged messages back out of the various followup folders before I can completely follow the threads in the Postgres listservs.) > And yes: there are any email-software available, without > problems.
