Outlook 2003: Determining Which Rule Triggered

[Tim Spaeth]

I have a user who has created around 30 rules, most of which involve
automatically foldering messages based on sender or subject.

Occasionally, a message will be automatically foldered, and he wants to
determine why it was foldered without going through his list of 30 rules. He
finds it "inconvenient."

I've had no luck finding anything in Outlook that would provide him with
this information -- no screen, no log, no magic button. Is there something,
somewhere in the software that would identify the rule(s) that triggered,
causing a message to be foldered?

As far as I can tell, that information is not available.
