Outlook 2003 Rules - "Marked as read"

[Ron]

I've setup Outlook 2003 to put copies of messages I send into various
folders based on existing rules I've setup.

My question is, is there a way to have Outlook put the copy of the outgoing
message in the specified folder, AND mark it as read? One of the great
features of Outlook is the "unread mail" sort, but the problem is I already
"read" the emails since I created them in the first place. Currently, I
would routinely apply a "mark all as read" to the folder, but I want to
automate this, or have the rule move a "read copy" to the specified folder.

Thanks in advance.
