Sorry Anthony, I don't think the Rules Wizard lets you do this (I agree I wish it did)....and Custom actions are additional features supplied by third-party add-ins. Outlook does not supply custom actions. I'm assuming Marking Mail as Read could be done with a macro, but of course, you know I don't know diddly about macros, ESPECIALLY in Outlook Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Colli, Anthony G Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 8:52 AM To: MSO FreeLists (E-mail) Subject: [mso] Outlook Rules Folks- I would like to set up a rule in Outlook 2000 that would check a message subject for a certain subject line, check if the message has an attachment, if those conditions are met, then move it to a folder and mark it as read. I can do everything except mark the message as read. I don't see that option. There is a 'perform custom action' option but I don't know how to use that. -Anthony Anthony Colli ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
