Vista - setting up a message rule w/o an email file to use

I have 2 email boxes, 1 business, 1 personal. Personal is NOT set up on my
blackberry for obvious reasons but a couple people use this box. I'm trying
to set up a message rule that replies to business associates to use my
other(business) email box but when I create the rule it only allows you to
"reply with message" and then opens up my Documents folder looking to open up
a *.eml type message. I tried creating a message and saving it as .txt and
using that reply but in testing it with my own email it's not displaying the
message.

can anybody help???

Instead of saving it as .txt, why didn't you save it as .eml?

No where does it let me save as.... .eml Notepad and Word2007 don't allow it.

From within Notepad: File, Save As, click the down-arrow at the end of the
"Save as type" box, then select All Files (*.*). Type in a File Name such as
sample.eml. Click OK.
Alternatively, you can also rename sample.txt to sample.eml.
