Message Flag...

[Steven]

Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5606)
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2

I have created the following rule:

Condition(s) - from people or distribution list
Action(s) - mark it as read, clear the message flag,
delete it

So, with this in mind, whenever the rule comes into play,
all of the actions seem to be processed except for
the "clear the message flag" action. The message is
marked as read and deleted, but the little envelope down
in my system tray remains.

Is there any way to "force" the envelope to disappear
when the rule is processed so I don't open my inbox,
thinking I have new mail, only to find that the rule
didn't really clear the message flag?

Thanx.
