Hi all,

I am using outlook 2007 on vista. I would like to automatically
categorize contacts based on attributes of an e-mail sent or recieved.
A rule would be the obvious solution, but the rules wizard only allows
you to do this for the e-mail itself and not the contact.

Any suggestions?

As far as I can tell, you can't automatically categorize a contact based on
a mail message. Perhaps you could do something like that writing your own
Visual Basic code, but a rule sure can't. Rules act upon messages, not
other item types.

Thanks Brian, I just thought I would check with the experts.
 
I'm curious, how do you want to categorize the contacts?

Hi Michael,

Categorization should be based on the contents of the subject line,
the presence of an attachment, etc---just as for the categorization of
email, but applied to the contact. I work as a business broker and
receive hundreds on inquiries from individuals that need to be
categorized according to the email correspondence.

Thanks again for your interest.
