Forward Rule Not Forwarding Replies

I am using Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP x64 machine and have set up a rule to
forward all messages to a gmail account when the message arrives. This rule
works for all messages except for messages that are replies to messages that
I have sent. Is there a way to get this rule to work for ALL messages
including replies?

it should work for all messages that meet the conditions in the rule. do you
have another address you can forward to? This will determine if the problem
is with outlook or gmail.

I can tell the problem is with outlook because the message does not show the
forwarded icon and no forward is sent to the outbox to be sent for all
replies.

Post the exact rule and an example of a message upon which you think it
should work.

The same instructions apply to you as to the original poster.

The rule is...

Apply this rule after the message arrives
forward it to (e-mail address removed)

The rule does not work for any replies to emails I have sent. I have tried
adding another rule for forwarding emails with "Re:" in the subject line but
I am still getting the same problem. Thank you for your help.

I'm not surprised. Your rule applies to messages you receive, not to
messages you send. Create another rule for outgoing messages. Add a Cc to
your gmail address.

The rule I posted does not forward replies that I receive from emails that I
have sent. I am not trying to forward emails I send only all the emails I
receive.

receive.

And that's the complete rule? Do you have any other rules?
