Pete,
I use two client-side rules with Outlook 98:
"Apply this rule after the message arrives with Techwr-l in the subject
or body move it to the techwr-l folder." AND
"Apply this rule after the message arrives from
Techwr-l -at- listserv -dot- okstate -dot- edu or LISTSERV -at- LISTSERV -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU"
These move all my techwr-l messages to my client-side folder. Of course,
you have to make sure that you're operating from the client folders in
the first place, i.e. 'Personal Folders', rather than 'Mailbox - Pete
Swisher'.
To do this, select Tools - Services - Delivery, and under Deliver new
mail to the following location, select 'Personal Folders'.
Hope this helps,
Aoidin

Subject: Filtering in Outlook 98
My PC was recently upgraded to Outlook 98. Since then, my filtering rule
for
this listserv no longer seems to work properly. When I tried to create a
rule which would automatically move messages from my Inbox to a
client-side
folder, I received a message like: "cannot mix client and server rules,
this
rule will only work when Outlook is running." With Outlook 97, all the
messages I received from this listserv would automatically move to the
Outlook folder I had created on my client. Now, the filter only works
for
moving messages from my Inbox to another server folder. I have to
manually
move the messages to a client folder.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with Outlook 98?
Thanks,
Pete

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about
filtering the
techwriter digest in MS Outlook. I have changed the
Rules
so that it
filters on messages TO this list rather than FROM this
list.
The real test
will come this afternoon when I receive the digest.
Thanks
again for all
the rapid responses!!
Thanks!
