We have set up a rule in Outlook 2000 to move messages
that contain a specific word to a specific folder. Is
there anyway to have a rule that will group or combine
messages that are related (for example, when it sees a
matching confirmation number in the subject or body). or
copy and paste them together into one message)
I am doubtful but I told my student I would ask!
Thanks,
Linda
 
No, you would have to do this with programming as the rules only act on mail
as it downloads into your in-box. What happens after that is dependent on
your setup - if you want mail combined, use VBS to write a program to do it
for you. Rules cannot.
