Rule to automatically mark a message to expire in 1 week during sending.

Hi !
I want to tell outlook that if my subject is "exp: xxxxxxxxx",
based on the keyword "exp:", please mark it as expiry message to expire
in 1 week. I can then easily sort it every week and delete these
messages.
I notice that I can create a rule to automatically defer delivery
by a number of minutes when sending a email. I would like to do the
same to expire a message, say after 1 week. I can't find an option for
this in rules and alerts. I wonder if anyone knows a way to do this or
has created a custom action for it.
If it's not possible, I may just create a new category called
expire and then a mark the email with this category. The reason why I
don't like to do this is that my categories will show up in my
contacts, calendar in Outlook as well as on my pda and smartphone. So
I prefer to change it to expire. And expire message has a time
associate with it while a category does not.
Thanks for your help in advanced.
