Custom Formatting of Views using Weekdays elapsed in Outlook 2003 SP2

P

All,

I have made some Automatic formattting (view > arrange by > current
view > customize current view > Automatic formatting > Conditions >
Advanced) settings to one of my mail folders so that I differentiate
between the mails I sent (blue in colour) and the mails I received
(normal black color). Also, using advanced filters, I have set up the
messages to appear in bold with the respective color settings retained
if they are more than 2 days old (both sent and received) to remind me
to follow up.

The issue I am facing is that when I come back on Monday, the messsages
I sent on Friday are bold as they are two days old. But, they were sent
only on the last week day. This is not what I wanted. I basically
wanted a reminder if someone (or myself) is sitting on a mail for more
than 2 business days.

I would like to apply the custom formatting feature only for messages
sent / received 2 weekdays back. I tried using 'sent' 'on or before' '2
weekdays ago'. Outlook does not seem to recognise this. Any other
pointers on what phrase to use in the 'value' field?

Any other methods to achieve the same end result would also be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Papo
