Move replies to a certain message

[Guest]

This may be easy, but I haven't found it in Help yet ...

I am sending out messages to a large group of people. With some of these
messages, I want to automatically send replies directly to a certain folder.
Is it possible to set a rule that acts only on the replies to a specific
message, to do this?

I know you can set a rule that looks for keywords, but that assumes the
respondent will include the original text or subject intact in their reply,
which they may not.

I notice that replies contain an In-Reply-To reference to the original
message in the Mail Internet Headers, so my guess is that Outlook should be
able to use these in some way to solve this issue. Am I right?

You might be able to check for text in the header but it would be very
manual to setup rules each time you wanted to do this

 

[Roady [MVP]]

Yes, but sometimes also "References:" or "Thread-Index" is used. You can
create a rule that searches the Message Header for these keywords.

I think solutions so far entail setting up rules. I'm looking for a way to do
this at the message level, if possible. It would be great if there were a way
to "label" the message in some way that the recipient is unlikely to alter,
so that I can act on it via a rule, or something like that.
