In OL2003, I have created a rule that if a piece of email arrives from
anyone on a certain list of people it automatically gets delivered to a
special folder "Work email". Every once in a while, I get an email from
someone who ought to be on that lsit, but isn't. So I go into Tools/Rules,
find the rule, and manually ad their name to the ever-growing list.

IS there an easier way to do this? Is there some way I can just drag their
name to the list somewhere?

(The closest I've been able to come to a shortcut is when the email is
opened, go to Actions/Create Rule, and create a new rule that directs any
future email from them to the Work email folder. But it's cluttering up my
Rules window by creating separate rules for each of these people. I'm
looking for a quick way to just add a enw name to the old list.)

Any ideas?

No, there's no easier way.

As always, thanks for the quick answer, Sue.
