moving emails to an external directory/folder with a rule.

[Znewsgroups]

I can copy emails to a network accessible folder for others to see by
dragging them from the inbox to an external folder. It copies over as
an .msg file. I would like to set up some kind of rule that would copy
these automatically with a rule based on a few letters in the subject
line. Is there a way to do this ? We use outlook 2003 and are NOT on
exchange server. We use Outlook 2003 stand-alone on each machine and
pop the email.

This begs a question: why do you want to keep your mesages outside of the
only program that can read them?

We use emails to send updates to customers. I have 10 people that send
updates. If I want everyone to have access to the updates, I either can
copy the emails to a shared folder everyone can access or we have to
carbon copy every message to every person. If one of these messages
then gets updated, you have to copy it to all 10 people again and make
sure they delete the first message. Easier to just copy the message to
a network folder. If you click on the message, it will open as long as
outlook is on your machine.

No server, eh?
