Executing a file when triggered by an Outlook message

I am using 2003. I would like to set up a rule/alert that would open up a
webpage from IE when a message from a certain sender comes in. Any ideas on
how to??

Create a .bat file that will run your browser of choice and open up the url
(for instance, "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.yahoo.com)
and then create a rule that says:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
from <address>
and on this machine only
start <bat file name>
