How do I color subject line for messages sent to a particular account

[cynthialeslie]

Hi - I just migrated from Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2000 SR-1
Outlook Express has a feature that was very useful to me, and I can'
find an analagous feature in Outlook.

What it is: in Outlook Express, I created a Rule that specifies
particular color for the Subject line of a message that was sent to
particular account. I used it like this: I subscribe to a remote fa
service that accepts faxes and delivers them to me via e-mail. I wan
to make sure that I know when a fax is received (so that I don'
inadvertently fail to notice it among all of my spam and othe
messages), so I set up a special e-mail account for the faxed (e.g.
(e-mail address removed)), and I set up the Rule so that Outlook Express woul
display the Subject line in a magenta color each time a message came i
to the (e-mail address removed) account.

In Outlook Express I have found that I can do something that is clos
to this but not exactly the same. What I have done in Outlook Expres
is use the Rules Wizard to tell Outlook Express to play a particula
sound (a .wav file) when a message comes to the (e-mail address removed)
account. This is a step in the right direction, but I'd really like t
do the color thing, if possible.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Cynthi
