I haven't found a way to turn this off - please let me know if you find one.” By default, Outlook 2007 doesn't send categories with your e-mails. That is, you can still categorize the item, but the receiver doesn't see that. With an entry to the Registry you can get the old behaviour back: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Preferences] "SendPersonalCategories"=dword:00000001 You might download here a *.reg file. Save the file to your computer, then double-click it. That will add the entry automatically to your Registry. From http://www.vboffice.net/workshop.html?smp=1&cmd=showitem&lang=en#t10 “Exchange appears to strip categories in both the send and receive process - keeping categories local to your mail file.” Message Categories Are Lost When You Send Messages from an Exchange 2007 Mailbox. Explains how to retain categories assigned to messages that are sent from a mailbox that is on Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Procedure: To use the Exchange Management Shell to disable clearing categories from messages sent. Run the following command: Set-TransportConfig -ClearCategories $False From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc308574(EXCHG.80).aspx Assigning categories is more difficult in Outlook 2007 then previous versions. Previous versions allowed comma separated labels. I would like to know if anyone knows how to assign categories based on message content. We assign categories based on project IDs and have have several hundred projects each year. Assigning by categories and storing in a folder sorted by categories allows us to easily find related messages. Also makes searching by category ID much faster. I found this posting but cannot get the code to run correctly. http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2006/06/04/617343.aspx Thanks, -Brad “Outlook 2007 strips out categories prior to sending, regardless of platform.
