Paul, So now I am confused again. I am not referring to Mailing List Manager (MLM) actions. I read the MVP link Diane supplied and it is clear there that you cannot re-run rules. But you said below that you can. Help!!
I thought that I had re-run RULES on messages in various folders - usually groups, but occasionally singles. It is this behavior that is now not working as I expected (and thought I had experienced). I have run the Microsoft updates - but am not saying the behavior changed as a result of the update (yet). Let me recap - I have a rule that I created with a message selected. It is the first rule (there is no MLM for this message). It runs as a single rule but not as an ALL RULES when accessed as a control click. It does not run when two messages are selected as an ALL RULES. I have not tried the entire In Box selected. Thanks for your continued help.
