How to add the Flag Message icon to the toolbar

Using Windows Mail- Once a message is selected, the Flag Message command is
available through the pop-up menu. Yet, I cannot find the way to add the Flag
icon to the toobar. This could be added in Outlook and extremely useful to
those using the Flag Message feature.
Does anyone know how this can be added (Note: the icon is unlisted in the
Add/Remove icons list on the Toolbar tailoring dialog).

It never was there :-)

You have to right click on the headers of the columns - subject, from, sent
etc>columns>select flag>and move to the left using Up or Down.
 
Mac,
Thanks for replying-
You missed my point- I have the Flag column header on the title of the grid
(so I view it and sort according to it).
What I don;t have is to include the Flag Message button to the bar which
contains the Reply/Forward/Reply All/Print and those commands.

In Outlook you could add the Flag Message COMMAND to that bar- can I do the
same in Windows Mail ?

Hope this clarifies

OK sorry about that.

No it does not exist in WM and it did not exist in Outlook Express, its
forerunner.
 
There you go,

Thank, this works and quite intuitive.
Hope though not to click unintentionally.
Still- I dislike the inconsistency between commands on the pop-up menu and
the toolbar. They should have been consistent between the two,

Thanks again Cal

Can't you just click in the Flag column next to the message to flag it?

You're welcome.

I moved my Flag column to the right of the Subject column to avoid accidently
clicking it since I was unintentionally clicking it all the time and now I never
click it by accident and it seems to stand out more in this position in the
middle of the pane.

I don't know what you mean by "pop-up menu", but I can flag
a message by clicking on Message > Flag Message.
Strangely enough, that option doesn't appear when right-clicking
on a message (context menu). I never use that feature because
in newsgroups "Watch Conversation" seems more useful.
