Rules Based on Meeting Invitees

F

We have a number of administrative assistants who are set up in Outlook
to be delegates for meeting invitations sent to their bosses and
others. One came to me this week with a question about setting up rules
to manage incoming meeting invitations that are sent to a number of
folks for whom she is a delegate. Basically she would like to
automatically move such meeting notices into separate folders for each
of the delegators. (Outlook 2003/Exchange 2003)

It would appear that the rules wizard does not have a way to parse the
Required/Optional Attendees, so there is not a way I can find to
identify a delegated invitation correctly.

Interestingly, an invitation that a delegate receives on behalf of a
delegator is, on the email header, sent to only the delegatee (the To:
line in the header has only one entry, for the delegatee. This differs
from an invitation that is not related to delegation, where the email
header has a separate To: line for each of the invitees. This allowed
us to create a rule that can separate all invites received due to a
delegation, but cannot distinquish between multiple delegators. Also,
if someone should actually set up a one-on-one meeting with the admin
assistant, it would also trigger this rule.

Any ideas??? Thanks . . .
