Chage color of BCC message with Rules--Please Help.

[Jeff]

Hello,

I would like to setup a rule that changes the color of any email I was BCC'ed on to help stand out. Obviously, if I was BCC, then that won't appear. Is there anyway to setup a rule that states if I don't appear in the TO or CC and I am not part of the possible Distribution List THEN change the color?

Can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

No, the BCC field is set to hide all access to the folks included in the
BCC, including coloring or rules.

It might be possible to set it if you aren't on the To: or Cc: line,
but Outlook doesn't parse DL membership when applying rules.

How would you write the rule, excluding the DL part for now...?

Thanks,

Tools | Organize and in the Advanced create a condition where your
name is not in the To or Cc lines (advanced tab) and color the message
in the color of your choice. Look at the other advanced formatting
conditions which already exist for examples. Here's another link you
might find useful.
