moving a reply email to original email's folder upon sending

I have a lot of folders to file emails located in my Outlook mailbox.
Each folder contains correspondence between specific groups of people.

I would like to reply to an email in any of those folders, and have the
reply moved (from sent items) into the same folder as the original
email (with the exception of the Inbox).

I used to have it setup to do this, but had Outlook 2000.

Can anyone help me figure out a way to create the proper rule / setting
to make such an action occur upon sending the reply?

I would prefer if it didn't have to be done individually on each folder
as that would be a very cumbersome task and would give me a hundred
rules.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom

WELL, I answered my own question... In Outlook 2003 you go to:

Tools | options | preferences | email options | advanced email options
| In folders other than the Inbox, save replies with the original
message.

You say which version you USED to use. You don't mention WHICH version you
are using now.

If you are using a rule to move a message to a folder and using THAT message
to reply to it, enable the following setting:

Tools -> Options -> Preferences -> E-mail Options -> Advanced E-mail
Options -> "In folders other than Inbox, save replies with original message"

If you are replying to messages sitting in your Inbox, use a rule to move
your copy of the sent message to the appropriate folder (it will probably
have similar clauses to those you used to redirect the incoming messages
into their appropriate folders).
