Re: OL 2003/2007: HOW allow me to see categories, but not let recipien

Outlook 2007 has a rule to strip categories from outgoing emails but it keeps them in the items in Sent Items, exactly what you want with no code involved at all.

In Outlook 2003 you'd need to pull the existing categories from the outgoing items before clearing the categories in the send event. Then you'd need to handle the ItemAdd() event in the Sent Items folder's Items collection. In that event you'd check for the subject to make a match to what you saved as categories from the matching outgoing item and add back the categories.

I want to keep the categories so I could see them on my computer (sort my
Sent messages by category, for example), but that a recipient would NOT
see
it. So it appears the solution I found (the Item.Categories ="") does NOT
accomplish my goal.

Is there a way to do this in OL2003 or OL2007?

DOES OL2007 strip the categories out of emails I send such that a
recipient
will NOT see the categories (in Yahoo email headers, seen as "Keywords")
but
that I can still search the categories after its been sent in the Sent
Items
folder?

And, if OL2007 DOES do this, how can I 'build' such functionality into
OL2003?

(This link *suggests* OL2007 does this, but I question whether it's
correct...

I had tried popping in this short VBA script in OL2003

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, _

Cancel As Boolean)

Item.Categories = ""

End Sub

and it took the 'keywords' (categories) out of the recipient's copy of the
email, but it removed the categories from the copy in my Sent folder.

In other words, I do NOT want my recipient to see the categories I assigned
to the email, but I DO want to see the categories assigned (so I can search
for it in my Sent folder later).

Any way to do what I want in OL2003?

Will OL2007 do it? (I really would like to stick with Office 2003!)
