How to set rule to Flag message for follow up within 3 BUSINESS days?

[outlook]

I have an outlook rule set up to:

Apply this rule after I sent the message
with "(" or ")" in the subject
flag message for Follow up within 3 days.

But, I'd like to follow up in 3 BUSINESS days. (That is, ignoring
Saturdays and Sundays).

If I send it on Monday, follow up on Thursday
But If I send it on Friday, follow up on Wednesday.

outlook doesn't support business days, only days.

thanks Diane. Is there a (relatively simple) way to do this
programatically? I'm familiar with using VB in XL, but how to get at
it seems a little more mysterious in Outlook, no?

try outlookcode.com and the outlook programming newsgroups on this server.
