Outlook 2007 allows you to assign colour-coded categories to emails (as well as contacts, tasks, and appointments - another great new feature) so I created a new category for Junk Mail, and before I mark it as Junk, I assign it to that category. Then when I'm checking my Junk folder, I know that anything with that category flag has already been confirmed as junk. It's still an extra step, but it's a quick and easy one, and it will do until the folks at Microsoft figure this one out. I do believe I have come up with my answer!
