At the firm where I work we recieve a lot of email with
follow up reminders attached. I have noticed that when we
do not open these emails in particular the followup
reminder do not appear five days later. If we however
delete these emails we never recieve a follow up
reminder. Is there a way in outlook 2003 to open an email
and look at it without recieving a follow up reminder?
Either a setting to change, or action one might take?
 
You can manually clear the message flag or just the reminder for each
message. Right-click the flag column for the message in the folder, then
choose either Clear Flag to clear the flag completely or Add Reminder to
reset the reminder time to None.

Alternatively, you can use a rule to clear the message flag on all incoming
messages. Choose Tools | Rules and Alerts, and create a new, blank rule to
check messages as they arrive. For the condition, choose "flag for action."
Click "action," which will be underlined, and choose Any as the message flag
to check for. For the rule action, choose "clear the Message Flag."
