E-mail tickler in outlook

I have been lurking for a while, and have just discovered a cool outlook tip. Apologies if you knew this already but I just had to share...

Maintaining a tickler for e-mail has always been a struggle for me, but it turns out outlook makes it easy. Just forward the message to yourself, then click on options and check the 'Don't deliver until' check box. You can set the message to be delivered whenever you like (date and time). Just send the message and it sits in your Outbox until the desired time, then gets delivered back to Inbox for processing. I'm even thinking that I might scan hard copy stuff then e-mail it to myself like this...

If it's an actual message I received, I just click on the flag at the top, then select the date and time I want the reminder to pop up. You can open the message from the pop up.
