Hi folks...
Yeah, I've been very busy rolling out a client upgrade and doing
training...as well as trying to get a grip on being a road warrior after two
years of sitting on my butt while directing tech traffic!<g> So it's been an
adventure!
Anyway...I was just sorting the tons of posts from this week in
Outlook...when it dawned on me that I was doing something that I believe
someone had once asked about. Don't know if there was ever an answer...so
here's one.
Problem:
If you attempt to sort all the posts in Outlook (or any email) by SUBJECT by
clicking on the subject column button at the top of via the View
....(depending on version, next menu)...Sort/by Subject...they will get
mixed up cos' an email with the subject of:
My Problem
...will not be sorted in the same alpha order as one with the subject of
RE: My Problem
To fix this...click View (versions have different items here, I
believe)...but move to the CUSTOM view. Then click on GROUP and GROUP by
Subject...rather than using the group default of auto group and then using
SORT by subject.
When you GROUP them...the one with and without the RE and FORWARD are
ignored and the subject text itself will be grouped. This will help you keep
the question with the subsequent answers.
Hope this helps someone out there!
Cheers...
