There's no easy way to do this in the client, that's for sure. This is
screaming out for a server side process, which is best done by an Exchange
Event Sink.

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a rule in outlook that
upon receiving a message from a certain person the server would wait x
number of minutes and then do a server reply to the individual.

I can set up the rule in rules wizard to do everything that I am wanting
with the exception of the delayed send time. Is there a way to write
this into a vba script and then attach that to the rule? If so then how
would I write that up and attach it. The 'x' number of minutes, I am
hoping could be anything randomly selected between 20 minutes and 2
hours, but if I can only specify a select time delay then I can always
go and change it regularly.

Thanks for any help.
