False new mail indicator when using rules flagging mail read

[BuzzCatZar]

Using Microsoft Office 2003 -- Outlook

Anyone ever notice how the new mail systray indicator will stay active for
email received that has a rule to automatically mark it read and delete it?
While I suppose I could understand someone reasoning that they actually like
this feature, I do not. Too bad there's not an implemantation to allow user
control over this or in the very least a way to communicate this design [bug]
feature back to the kool-aid stand. >:-(

You can make a suggestion on this to Microsoft, which others can then vote on
if they agree. Microsoft does read these suggestions and notes which ones are
most popular, for consideration in later versions.

Go through the Office community portal at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx and browse to
the Outlook community forum you want to post in. When you click the New
button for a new message, choose "Suggestion for Microsoft". When your
message is posted it will have a disclaimer at the bottom saying that it is a
suggestion, and if you look at your post from that same Office portal, the
message will also have a symbol next to it to show that it is a suggestion
post.
