You will need a third party add-in. Ornic used to have a Mark As Read
application but I have not checked them out in a while so you might want to
look at the web site to see if it still exists.

After furious head scratching, Brian asked:

| I am using Outlook 2000 at work and have a rule to that when a new
| email is receive with specific subject manner I have a
| rule that puts a copy into a different folder. It works great, but I
| want to also mark it as read but I don't see an option for this.
| I have got to think this is possible as I can see options to mark a
| flag messages, but not mark them. Am I over looking something?? Is
| it possible that Corp admin shut it off??
|
| Any help is appreciated.
