Filter messages sent "To or CC" some contact

[naim.abu.darwish]

Hello,

In outlook 2003, It is possible to create a rule to filter messages
sent TO some contact, but not if the contact is in the CC list. I
looked everywhere, I could not find such an option. There is only
"where my name is in the to or cc list". But i want where x-name is in
to or cc.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I think the best you can do is look for the address in the header.

Where can you do this? i dont see other way but to use the wizard,
which does not give an option to look in headers

There's an option to look for text in the header in the Rules Wizard.

Ok, so i tried to run a rule with something like search for "Cc: john"
or "cc: john" or some other variations... in headers, i could not
catch any emails.
Can you please give an example how to match emails where an email
address is specified in the cc field and NOT in the from field !!


The weird thing is i tried to do a similar google search and i the top
result on google was http://office-outlook.com/outlook-forum/index.php/m/391443/
First i saw it was the first post i find that was very similar to my
problem, but then i see it is my post !!!
But i saw no reference to this google group!!! whats happening ? do
they just copy the posts from here and claim they were posted on their
site?

Thanks.
