Can I write a message rule on the Envelope-to item?
 

I want to filter my inbox mails using the Envelope-to property, but
I can make rules only on the Sender, CC etc.
Thanks

Not in Outlook Express and not that I'm aware of in Outlook either.

Can I write a message rule on the Envelope-to item?

Outlook Express does not have a rich rules set. You cannot have OE
interrogate any headers other than those listed in its rules set.

As noted at
http://www.olympus.net/olympusnet/ol...l/notToMe.html, "Almost
all email programs provide a way for you to see the full headers of your
incoming email messages." Seeing them is not the same as accessing them
from within rules. Not all e-mail clients let you test on the headers.

You will either need a mail proxy which can check headers, or a mail client
which can check headers. MS Outlook Express was a freebie, written in a day
when deep header checks were not really necessary for most people. In the
present state of the Internet, a mail client should be able to filter on
all header lines; maybe a request in the "Wishlist" for MS Outlook Express
7, or whatever MSFT is going to call the successor to MSOE 6.
