Anyway, since you can calculate it by a static formula, you can add such
information by creating a macro which looks at which date/time you have
selected in your calendar and then does the calculation for you.
The same is true if you actually meant that you want to see the day number
of this year.

I then gave my personal opinion on its technical relevance in conjunction to
Outlook. It's ok if you don't agree with me on that part but motivate
yourself instead of just dismissing my opinion and even attack me on it. I
didn't dismiss the OP's request either; since the OP didn't posted enough
information, I had to make an assumption as to why it would be relevant to
have it. The OP was free to respond on that and could give another reason to
have it other than my assumptions. That of course can change my opinion. I
didn't dismiss his/her opinion either; he/she didn't post any. My responds
was purely technical of nature and even provided technical workarounds to
still get it.
Since you like to have Julian Dates in Outlook as well, I'm sure you can
then explain it to me what the greater importance of it is. It might be a
great idea to have it natively in Outlook indeed but based on your responds,
I cannot tell so it would be hard to support the idea.
When making a suggestion, don't make it because you would need it but make
it because it will benefit the product or a whole lot more people and
motivate your suggestion. A general rule of thumb is that suggestions for
niche markets (do not confuse with small nations or populations) are usually
not incorporated into the general product. Depending on its implementation
method or need, Microsoft itself could provide an addin for that or it will
be left to the addin market. If you know how to write code, this could be an
opportunity for you.
For instance, this photography addin of Microsoft for Outlook is such a
thing that supports a niche market but isn't included in the general
product;

I'm afraid I have to with the responder about the Julian date calendar being
added 5 years ago. I am in the military, and we deal with the Julian
calendar (dates) on a daily basis. The airline industry uses the Julian
calendar as well. That is two major industries that use a MS product. Now,
are we demanding for MS to update their programming or else? No, we are just
requesting for options, and trying to figure out why it was not thought of in
the development process.

A calendar that expresses a date as a numbered day of the year (ordinal day)
is not the "Julian" date. The Julian date representing February 17, 2009 is
2,454,880. I don't believe for an instant that an airline would use that
value. Now, considering how confusing the government likes to be, perhaps
the military might, but I doubt it.
