Using custom color on email message assigned custom category

[saturnin02]

Win XP HE, OL 2002
Hi,
I would like to have all emails in my inbox to which I assign a category
(for example "Work") have a certain color.
I cannot get it to work.
I would really like to have a filter that assigns to BOTH a flagged message
AND the category "Work" (that I assign manually after I receive the email,
take on a green color, for example.
I have gone to the Automatic formatting and I can get it to work with
message is flagged but not with categories.
Is this possible?
TX,
S

That explains it....
I've been thinking about upgrading to 2003 but didn't want the hassle...
Maybe it is worth it...
