Automatic assignment of Category on incoming mail based on Message Class

Hi,

I am trying to organize my Outlook 2002 Inbox using categories.

I would like to assign Category for an incoming mail on the 'Message Class',
eg, those with IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request should get a certain category
and meeting responses another and so on.

I'd really like to use categories since it allows be to group the messages
in my inbox conveniently, but I have not been able to find anything that
allows me to assign categories based on Message Class using the Rules Wizard
so I'm rather stuck.

Any clues on how to do this?
Cheers,
/Torben

You can do this with a rule that uses the "uses the <form name> form"
condition and the "assign it to the <category> category" action. You'll find
the meeting request form under the Application Forms list.
