Automatically selecting email account

[Ski]

I have 2 email accounts, one for business and one for personal. Both are
configured in Outlook 2003. My contacts list contains a number of business
contacts (category = "Work") and a number of personal contacts (category =
"Personal"). Is there a way to automatically use the appropriate email
account according to which person I am emailing?

I mean that the moment Outlook sees a contact in the "to" field who is
assigned to the "Work" category, it uses the business email etc.

I don't want a business contact to see my personal email address or a
personal contact to see my work email. If I have to manually select the
account myself, sooner or later I will make a mistake.

Am I whistling in the wind or are there sleigh bells ahead? Is there a
script or a "perform custom action" that might do the trick?

As far as I know, no. There's no way to automatically select accounts based
on recipient. You've got to choose it when sending.
