| | Logical option for creating email Message Rules. It SHOULD be possible to create a Message Rule when one is reading the messages in the inbox. One should be able to right click on the email and track down the drop-down menu to "create rule for this email". But at present the only way I can see is to open the email, copy the address (or whatever criteria desired), go to Tools>Message Rules>Mail (or News)>New and THEN create the rule. This is I feel an entirely unnecessarily long winded way of creating a rule, and the method I have suggested should have been included from the start. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

| | Re: Logical option for creating email Message Rules. You're right, it would be handy in the right-click menu. It's available in Outlook, but not in WLM, or Thunderbird, either. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Avery Tom Deacon Harry" <AveryTomDeaconHarry@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:759C3534-4736-44C4-A74A-867EFA961B4B@xxxxxx Quote: > My point was that the "Create rule from message" option should appear by > right-clicking on the actual email in the inbox (or wherever). > > "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: > Quote: >> No need to do all that.
