Add data to new folder column

I'm using Office XP SP3. I recieve an email from my favorite baseball team
after each game (with the line score). I created a new folder and new rule to
send these emails to the new folder. In the new folder, I added three new
colums: 'W' 'L' 'Score'. My problem is that I want to add a check mark under
the 'W' or 'L' column, depending on whether the game is a win or a loss. I
also want to add the score of the game under the 'Score' column. I want this
so that I can just scoll down the list of emails without opening each one.
Can any one tell me how how to do this because I haven't been able to figure
it out. Thank you in advance.

Sounds like you would need to parse the message and pull that data from
the appropriate places in the message. Not a trivial task.

Ultimately it will probably prove easier for you to just create that
metadata for each game manually; seeing as how you'll never have to do
it more than twice a day at the most.

Just create custom fields (or use the User Fields), create the
appropriate custom columns in your view (View | Arrange By | Customize
Current View add the fields) and then View | Arrange By | Format Columns
to set the column types.

When the message comes in you'd just click either W or L (hope they
don't tie), and then type the score into the proper field.

Or you could just turn on AutoPreview and hope the format of the message
allows the relevent data to be displayed there.
