Mail Rules Wizard

The only way I could figure out how to do this without a custom action (i didn't find a custom action anywhere that fit this problem) was to first create the rule that moves a copy to a specified folder, then to create another rule that deleted the version in the sent items. If you set them to go in that order then it works perfect. I was able to do it with messages containing "TEST" in subject line.

If you are using Outlook 2000 or XP start your rules wizard. Hit "New". Click on "Start creating a rule from a template". Click on "Move messages I send to someone". Click "Next". Remove the checkmark in the box "sent to people or distribution list". Add a checkmark in the box "with specific words in the subject". Then in the box with the Rule description, you need to modify the "specific words". After you type in the specified phrase click on the add button, then hit ok. Then click on the "next" button. Now you need to specify the folder that you want to move it to. Click on "specified" in the Rul description area and select the folder that you want to move it to. Click on the next button and edit any exceptions to this rule that you may need. Click on the next button after you complete the exceptions. Now give the new rule a name,
