I would like to suggest that ET support a "favorite" bin. It would be like the favorite in Internet Explorer, but it would exist on ET instead of the particular machine. This way, you could view your favorite threads from anywhere. I should be stored similarly to the Private Messaging... nitro
This is already supported. You can monitor all your favorite threads by subscribing to them (see bottom left of this page for the subscribe link). You can then view all of your subscribed threads under the section in the black bar at the top right called "your account".
