Many thanks, Michael.

I removed the loop, deleted the ref to Dim myOlApp, and inserted the
following with the name of the sender instead
of the NOS:

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = _
myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myItem = myFolder.Items.Find _
("[SenderName] = 'NOS")


I think it should work, though not as clean as you would do. Any comments
would be appreciated as I am trying to get better at this!

Don't loop through the Explorer.Selection, but use the Item object that is
passed as an argument. Then edt the rule to call the script only if the
e-mail comes from the particular sender.

And, please, delete the
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
line.

As Outlook already runs your code you must not try to create a new
instance
of it. Then replace 'myOlApp' simply by 'Application'.
