Thanks Kevin, I actually had just discovered the categories option before receiving your message and I think that will do the trick.

Get your user to add all Departments to his Master Category List. Then add the Category (Department) using View-Options in the Read window for each message. Then use the Customise Current View (or Cretae a new view) to Group by Categories and the sort by Subject. Seems a lot of hassle to me but I guess we are here to serve!!

User just came up and asked me about organizing email messages in a folder. Basically what he wants to do is sort them by subject and then under that subject, sort by another field that he creates for each message. For example, all these emails have a common subject (Purchase Order, for example). He can sort by subject but then he also wants to classify them by the department which submitted them. The department number is nowhere in the subject line. Can a custom field be added to all these messages where he can enter a department number and sort by it? Exchange 5.5, SP4 running on W2K, SP2. Client in question is Outlook 2000.
