Create or Import a Outlook Rule through C# code.

[JIGNESH]

Outlook 2007
..NET 3.5 with VS2008.

In outlook manually i can create a rule which looks like below. I am looking
for a code sample which can do the same. Rule is :-

"Apply this rule after message arrives
with "ABC" in the subject
reply using "c:\users\xxxxxx...\Templates\STDReply.oft"
and delete it"

if via code its not possible, then I am looking for some code, which can
help me to import the Rule file containing above rule.

Any Directions, Clue, Code Sample/ Hit will help.

Note: I had a looked at Outlook.Rule object, but I could not found my
solution.

Yes, it's possible, using the Outlook.Rule object, which is documented in
detail here:

Hi Sue,

On Page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb206764.aspx
The Table says..

olRuleActionTemplate is NOT supported when creating new rules
programmatically.

So what is the work around for this. Is there any code sample on this?

Regards
