I'm running Outlook 2003, and the rules manager is behaving
strangely. Specifically "stop processing more rules" doesn't seem to be
doing what I expected.
It was my belief that, if I choose "stop processing", that only happens for
a message that matches the rule in question. However, what seems to be
happening is that, if I have "stop processing more rules" in a rule, no rule
after that ever gets executed.
I made a rule to just copy every rule to a folder, so I can test on all
incoming mail. With no "stop processing" in rules above the copy, I see the
copy. If I add "stop processing" to any rule above it, I don't get the copy.
Any idea why this "stop procesisng" doesn't behave as expected?
Thanks,
Aimee
