I want to keep the categories so I could see them on my computer (sort my
Sent messages by category, for example), but that a recipient would NOT see
it. So it appears the solution I found (the Item.Categories ="") does NOT
accomplish my goal.

Is there a way to do this in OL2003 or OL2007?

DOES OL2007 strip the categories out of emails I send such that a recipient
will NOT see the categories (in Yahoo email headers, seen as "Keywords") but
that I can still search the categories after its been sent in the Sent Items
folder?

And, if OL2007 DOES do this, how can I 'build' such functionality into OL2003?

(This link *suggests* OL2007 does this, but I question whether it's
correct...

Yes Outlook supports stripping categories from outgoing mail but retaing
them in your mailbox. See Rules and Alerts-Start from a New Rule-On
Outgoing messages. Follow th wizard.

In OL2003 or just in OL2007? I do not have OL2007. I'd hate to think I'd have
to buy 2007 just for this, but...

I tried it in 2003, via VBA, but it stripped it from the message in Sent as
well.
