Colour applied in Organize rule - two same first names but not sur
A user applied a colour from a specific person "Tim Jones" to appear in
fushia however when she receives emails from Tim Brown, his emails also appear in pink. I assumed as they are not the same names it would not apply the colour rule to both. Can you explain how you get the fushia colour rule to Tim Jones? |

Colour applied in Organize rule - two same first names but not
Outlook 2003 on Exchange 2003.
The colour was applied by the Organise Tool, Use colours. Using the colour messages from option. Therefore user was selecting Tim Jones in her Inbox, selecting using the colour messages from (Tim Jones name was listed) and applied fushia. But as stated because their is a Tim Jones and a Tim Brown listed in her Inbox both will be applied with the same colour. Any ideas?

I just colored all messages received from "Def, Abc" and all messages from that person were colored. However, I also have messages from "Ghi, Def" and those, too, However, messages from "Jkl, Abc" where not. That is, when I colored messages from someone whose last name happens to be someone else's first name, both entries were colored. I haven't yet worked out exactly what's happening, but http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/c...iladvanced.htm indicates that the pattern matching is not simple. -- Brian Tillman |
