Default Message Rule

Well, yeah, it is possible on the client side but could be tricky. If you
have your rule run a script, then that script could start a timer. I suggest
a timer class like this one:

vbAccelerator - SSubTimer - ASM Thunk Version:

Good luck managing this timer over extended periods of time, especially with
Outlook restarts/hangs. An alternative may be to hook your logic into
reminders from Tasks.

Hey Eric, thanks for the response. I have no way of doing it on the
server side, so that's out. But it is capable to do it on the client side?
