Outlook sent Rules

[Art McClinton]

I am having difficulty figuring out how to set up two specific rules in
Outlook 2003.

1) when I forward a message to a list of people which includes a
specific person I would like to delete the item from the sent folder. I
have found that I can set up the rule to look for the person in the sent
to list and the word "FW: " in the subject line but I do not see an
action of "delete" or move to delete folder. I did find that move a copy
to delete folder will move a copy, but of course it leaves a copy behind.

2) The second item is when I receive mail I use rules to sort it into
specific folders, for example if word SRAS appears in the subject I move
it to "SRAS" folder. I would likewise like when I send a message to
search the subject line and if it contains SRAS, move it to the SRAS
folder. But only find the "move a copy"

Any help appreciated. If you wish to reply directly to me change nova to
mitretek.

I don't believe the "Delete" or "Move (and delete the original)" action
exists for rules triggered on sending.

Thanks. That was what I was noticing. Also I would call "Move a copy"
as Copy. I am finding that the rules wizard is very poor in its
capabilities. Do any third party capabilities exist to improve it?
