Organizing using To Address

Outlook 2002

I wanted to organize e-mails sent to one of my specific e-
mail accounts. I set up a formatting rule to make all
messages sent to (e-mail address removed) would be a certain color,
which was great until one of the messages came in with an
actual name for the account such as: Your Name
<[email protected]>. Now Outlook only looks at the "Your Name"
part of it, and ignores that its actually sent TO an e-
mail address. I tried using a bunch of different fields
to set to it, but Outlook is playing dumb.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I got mine to work by going to the Advanced tab and adding the following
criteria:

Email account contains mvps

I only have one e-mail account configured with the string "mvps" in it,
so it always finds the messages sent to that account and turns them the
proper font color.
