Just to clarify something: When I say reply from the desktop alert, I mean click the down arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the alert and click 'reply.' Opening the message and replying from the opened message works normally.

A number of us have been testing Outlook 2003 (as part of Office), and I've been generally pleased with it. However, I've found the following behavior and suspect it may be a bug. If someone out there with Outlook 2003 could try to replicate this, it would help me determine if it's particular to my setup. When I reply to or forward a message from Outlook's Desktop Alert (the transparent pop-up window), the original message's icon doesn't change to indicate a reply or forward has been sent. I cannot, therefore, use the feature that allows me to find related messages. While this isn't a critical issue, but it's caused problems for me and I predict others in my organization will find it troubling as well
