how to set values for rule description box in Outlook 2003
Just as vague over here as you were over in
microsoft.public.outlook.general.
Learn to cross-post:

A point not made is that N multiposted copies will consume N times the
disk space for each of the separate copies of the same post.
Crossposted messages have just *one* copy on the server with links in
the newsgroups back to the same single copy. Multiposting wastes disk
space on the server. Yes, your post may be small but remember that
you consume N times the space on one server and then do so again on
all the newsgroups servers worldwide. You waste more bandwidth
getting N copies of your multiposted message distributed to all the
newsgroups servers worldwide. Cross-posting has just one copy of the
message on an NNTP server, and only one copy gets propagated to other
NNTP servers.
To those visiting the newsgroups, crossposting helps them see ALL the
replies from those in the other RELATED newsgroup to which you linked
your post. That way, they don't waste their time duplicating similar
replies.
