We are using voting buttons more and more in our daily routine. Before I
learned that the original e-mail needs to stay in the "sent" folder, and the
responses need to stay in the "in box" and be read to get the tracking to
work correcly, I had planned to set-up rules to automatically take these sent
items and replies to a specified personal folder, based on some key words in
the subject. That would allow a nice, neat management of the e-mails. With
the way I understand this works today, I have to wait for all of the replies,
read them, and then only after all of the "tracking" is complete can I move
them to a desired personal folder for historical purposes. If I
misunderstand the way this works, please correct me. Otherwise, please
consider as an idea for a future enhancement.
I would also like to see a way to notify the send that all replies (votes)
have been received, rather than having to periodically look at the tracking
tab.
Thanks much!

What you're describing is pretty much the way Microsoft InfoPath 2007 can work to not only gather the information but display the results. It, rather than Outlook, is the future direction of that kind of ad hoc data gathering.
