Entourage Rules

Hello again,

I have created a rule that states: when I send an email that has the
words the words Quote, Quotation, Invoice or ``` in the subject and/or
the message body then forward to a specific email address. I have
tried to test this email several times, but I cannot seem to get it to
work.

Am I doing something wrong? Why won't the rule forward a copy to the
specified email recipients?

Thanks in advance JKL

I'm assuming when you compose this message you know that you want it Cc to
other recipients. In this case use an AppleScript to create the message with
the intended recipients rather than trying to act on the message when it is
being sent. You might be able to do this with Automator too.

Here¹s an example to BCC a recipient with To left blank:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {BCC
recipients:"[email protected]"}
open newMessage
end tell


This example has a ³To²

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {to
recipients:"[email protected]", BCC recipients:"[email protected]"}
open newMessage
end tell

In the rules dialog there are different tabs for pop mail, imap, exchange
and news - the last tab is for outgoing mail (actually they run after the
mail has been sent so should really be called 'outgone' rules!). Did you
create your rule in this last tab?
