Mark as read

[kris99]

I have a rule that moves all of my read reciepts to a folder. Does anybody know of a macro that will mark these read reciepts as read as soon as they are moved into the folder? This would prevent then from showing up as new mail.

You can set this option in the Message Rule itself. Which Mai client are you using? OE or Outlook 2000?

I am using Outlook 2000 but I have not found a way to mark as read in the rule wizard.

It is a custom action and not something that is part of Outlook.

Although I haven't searched hard I have only found one custom action add-on for this at

However it does not affect the envelope icon nor does it work well in Outlook 2000. (At least not on mine)

If anyone else finds such a tool that works well I hope they post. joegz

If you no something about writing macros then the conversation at

may be of interest.

It is kind of beyond me but supposedly the code given here works according to what it written
