How to Flag for Follow Up using Java Mail, SMTP in a Java program

I have a java program which sends emails to client reminding to renew their contract. I am using Java Mail API, core Java and  SMTP.

I want the emails to be sent with a Flag for follow up for 5days. So Until I receive any acknowledgement from them it should keep bugging them to respond. Its same as Outlook Flag for followup. Tools->Actions->Flag for followup.

I am wondering if it is even possible to accomadate that feature using java and Java Mail?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thank You so much

Flag for followup, i'm pretty sure, is application specific/ proprietary

CEHJ, Thanks for responding.

In Outlook there is Message Priority like Importance: High with "!" RED Mark for important messages. I added that feature in the java program using msg.addHeader("X-Priority","1")

And also When I was going through the documentation of javax.mail I found methods called getFlags() and setFlags() under MimeMessage, dont you think those were realted to Flag Follow-up in Outlook?

Is it possible in any other Mail API's?
