Folks,

On my machine, I can reproduce what to me appears to be a bug in Outlook
2003 (11.5608.5703).

When the rule runs (to add "High Importance Flag" on some email
identified by their domain name, when the mail arrives the content is
stripped out. It's an empty mail.

I noticed this today after receiving 4 empty messages. All were to the
domain in the rule. I removed the rule, and ran some tests. Without the
rule in place, the messages didn't get stripped. With the rule the
messages did get stripped.

The rule description: "Apply this rule after the message arrives with
A_DOMAIN_NAME.COM in the recipient's address mark it as high importance".

I've looked through the Microsoft KB for such a bug, but can't spot it.
Anyone else notice this, or is this just me?
 
Rob,

I have noticed this bug with rules:

Outlook 2003,

Have set up 2 additional email addresses for a user to receive alternative
emails to there main email account and then created seperate folders listed
under there Inbox. I then created Inbox rules to state emails sent to one
address are automatically filtered by Outlook into there respective folders.
However the user has been receiving Read receipts sent from there seperate
main email account and the reply has been filtering into the other folders I
created and not her main Inbox. Anyone know why?
