Default Rule to Forward Incoming Mail Fails when item is itself a replied-to or forwarded e-mail

Is there a fix or programming activity which will
defeat the apparent Outlook 2003 bug which causes
rules to forward mail to fail when the incoming e-mail
is a forwarded or replied-to e-mail?

Basically there is a set of rules which either discard
an incoming e-mail as spam or file the incoming e-mail
in one folder or another.

Then every incoming e-mail which "survives" the above
collection of rules is to be forwarded to one specific
POP e-mailbox, via the single forwarding rule which comes
into play after the initial set of screen rules.

We have tested the "survival"rules by setting color flags
and 100% of the color flagging is applied as desired.

The only e-mails which do not get forwarded according to
the above system are those e-mails which have been forwarded
to the user or which are replies to the user.

And you have "stop processing more rules" as an action on each, correct?

We have tested the "survival"rules by setting color flags
and 100% of the color flagging is applied as desired.

Please post the rules themselves and give an example of a message that works
and one that doesn't.
