Way to assign a default category?

[StargateFanFromWork]

Is there a way to do this? I set up a rule but it seems one can only assign
the category only _after_ sending the email. It would be nice if emails
could have a category assigned as a default beforehand.

Thanks.

You can set categories via rules for incoming messages.

I'm striking out today <g>.

The difficulty is that the situation I'm looking for isn't covered. The
category gets assigned _after_ I send, not before. So the messages are only
affected here at my end, while I'm the sender. So by setting up a default
category then the messages will always have that. The rules also don't seem
to work every time. And I'm no longer fond of making up templates for
Outlook. I have too many templates for Word and Excel for work as it is.

Anyway, one last stab before giving up for now.

Thanks. D
