Using a Rule to Clear a Flag for a specific message

[Guest]

Hello, I'm trying to setup a rule that will cause a flag to be cleared on a
sperate message when a new specificially formatted message is received.
Basically I will be sending an email which will state: Shipment History
Request for 12345678. I CC myself on that message and it automatically flags
the message for me. When the response for that comes (Re: Shipment History
Request for 12345678), I want outlook to clear the flag on the message that I
had sent previously so that I know the issue has been resolved without me
having to look though all the folders in my email account. I have a fair
working knowledge of VB and rule creating, I'm just having difficulties
finding a way to clear flags on other messages, not just the one your in.
Thank You for any help you can provide!!!!!

Wouldn't it be easier to flag the sent email instead of sending a CC?

you can use the ItemAdd event of the Inbox. When an email comes in with the
proper subject then use the Restrict function to find the email with the
same ConversationTopic property in the Inbox (cc) or Sent Items.
