Rules in Outlook 2007 that utilise categories

M

MTCS

Re-posting question - original seems to have got lost.....

I noticed that Outlooks rule wizard can create a rule which can run if the
email senders address is in the contact address book. I wanted to then apply
the category assigned to the sender in my address book to that email, but
the wizard only seems able to assign a specific category. Am I understanding
that right? I use catgories alot, and any way to automatically assign a
category to an email will save me time.

When I decide to keep an email, I manually assign it a category. If I reply
to that email, I'd llike the reply (in my sent box) to automatically have
the same category as the email I'd replied too. Again, I can't find a way to
do this in the 2007 rules wizard.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks Brian. Thats a shame. Is there a way to send a request to Microsoft
to add it as a feature in a new version of Outlook?

Supposedly posting a suggestion message here may eventually filter to
Microsoft. You're using WIndows Mail to post and I don't think that has the
suggestion facility. The web interface does and I thought Windows Live Mail
does (but I'm not sure). There may also be a way on
http://support.microsoft.com/

Thanks again Brian. Windows Mail does have the Suggest option, not that I'd
noticed before. I'll give it a try.
