+ <title>Column Sorting with the Follow Up Feature</title>
+ <para>
+ One way to make sure you don't forget about a message is
+ with the <guilabel>Follow Up</guilabel> feature. To use it,
+ select one or more messages, and then right-click on one and select
+ <guimenuitem>Follow Up</guimenuitem>. A dialog box will open
+ and allow you to set the type of flag and the due date.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The <guilabel>Flag</guilabel> itself is the action you
+ want to remind yourself about. Several are provided for you, such as
+ <guilabel>Call</guilabel>, <guilabel>Forward</guilabel>, and
+ <guilabel>Reply</guilabel>, but you can enter your own note or
+ action if you wish. You may set a deadline date for the flag
+ as well, if you wish.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Once you have added a flag, you can mark it as complete or
+ remove it entirely by right-clicking on the message and
+ selecting <guilabel>Flag Completed</guilabel> or <guilabel>Clear
+ Flag</guilabel>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When you read a flagged message, its flag status will be
+ displayed right at the top, before the message headers. An
+ overdue message might tell you <guilabel>Overdue: Call by April 07, 2003, 5:00 PM</guilabel>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Flags can help you organize your work in a number of ways. For
+ example, you might add a Flag Status column to your message
+ list and sort that way. Alternately, you could create a vFolder
+ that displays all your flagged messages, and clear the flags
+ when you're done, so the vFolder contains only messages with
+ upcoming deadlines.
