How do I auto archive sub folders in outlook?

I have organized my mail under multiple folders in the "Outlook Today" Folder
List and have configured auto archive to include this folder. This works
without a hitch.

My problem is that I periodically add new sub folders. It is my expectation
that any new folder I create under an existing folder will also be
auto-archived. But this is not the case... I notice the default setting
turns out to be, "Do not archive items in this folder". So, I need to
remember to manually go to each new sub-folder and select the bullet,
"Archive items in this folder using the default settings".

Is there a configuration setting (or something??) that will allow any new
folder to inherit the setting of the parent folder?

Outlook 2002 SP3 on XP Pro Version 2002 SP1

Thanks!
 
I would think that new folders would inherit the settings shown here: Tools
menu > Options > Other > AutoArchive, but I might be wrong
 
Hi Vince, yes, I would think so too. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Any other ideas out there?

Thanks!
