[NLC] Filter on cc field in Outlook ?

[Labitt, Bruce]

Thanks Tom,

 

But it doesn't work.  Outlook does not allow me to add
help-octave at octave.org to the "people-distribution" list.   Also if I
could add it I could only add it to the "from" but not the "cc" field.
I.e. I cannot choose cc.

 

Below is the rule I have right now.

 

"Apply this rule after the message arrives with cc: help-octave in the
message header and on this machine only

 move it to the octave folder"

 

I moved a message from my octave folder into the inbox again and ran the
filter.  The email stayed in the inbox :-(

 

Any other ideas?

 

-Bruce

Sorry for the non-linux content...

Does anyone know of a way to generate a rule to filter on the contents
of the cc field in Outlook?  I seemed to have stumped my IT folks.  If
it matters, it is Outlook 2003.  I'm subscribed to the octave-help list.
Most of the emails I receive from that list have help-octave at ... in the
cc field.  Right now I have to manually move the emails into my octave
email folder.  You would think it would be easy to do this, isn't this
what computers should do?  Automate tedious tasks?


Tools -> Rules -> New -> start from blank
Next ->

Conditions:
  To people or distribution
   with specific words in the message header (and choose cc:
help-octave)
  
Next -> select actions
move it to specified folder


 

	
	
	I use Thunderbird at home (both Windows and Linux) - it is easy
to
	create such a filter.
	
	Any hints and or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
