Thank you both for your replies. Not what I wanted to hear...but I
just came up with an idea that my very visually motivated user is fine
with...

I set up Automatic Formatting to say if Autoforwarded is True make the
font Bold Green. Problem solved.

Thanks for your help!

I don't think rules can detect which are autoforwarded and which are
manually forwarded - If it were me, I'd use a rule that looked for messages
from you, that had FW: in the subject line and flag. *As long as you don't
forward a lot of things manually that he doesn't need flagged, it'll work.

...



I autoforward emails that I get from a specific client to one of my
users, but I also send regular emails that are not autoforwarded to
him.

In order to distinguish the ones that are autoforwarded, I want to be
able to flag *(on his machine) those messages after they arrive.
There is a field called Auto Forwarded and that is checked, so I want
to be able to check that field when the email arrives and if Auto
Forwarded is true, then flag it. *(I tried just showing the
Autoforwarded check field, but my user says that's not enough...it's
particularly bad if he's looking for a specific email from me that
wasn't autoforwarded and he has to search though all the ones (and
there are lots) that were.) *He feels more comfortable with the flags.

I found the criteria that says something about checking Document or
Form properties, but when I add a standard form, like the "note",
which is the message class of the message, I don't get to look at any
fields. *(In custom forms that I've created, I am able to see fields
for those.)

Does anyone know how I can do this?- Hide quoted text -
