Hello,

I've been trying to set up an auto-reply rule in Outlook 2003 home (that is,
using my POP account with my ISP). I am in the process of changing my ISP,
and want to send an auto-reply message to all entries in my Outlook contacts
folder.

I specified the following conditions in the rule:
- sender is in Contacts address book, and on this machine only
- reply using C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates\New address.oft

The template contains a simple update email text message, the recipient and
subject fields are empty.

I treid testing the rule by sending a message to myself, from both my ISP
account and from Gmail. I already have an entry for myself in the Outlook
contacts folder for these two addresses.

When I test the rule on the Inbox folders, no auto-reply messages are sent,
or even queued for sending in the Outbox folder.
Is there a better way to test and debug this this, for example by examining
a log file somewhere?

Many thanks,
Paul
