I came across this by accident, when looking at an alert email in my Outlook. Before I start let me say that this occurred using WSS 3.0 and Outlook 2007. When an alert from SharePoint come in, you get a menu option on the top left of the message asking me if I want to set a rule. When I click on it – it’s prepopulated with the title of the alert and allows me to set a rule immediately f or this kind of alert. This is kind of cool because it’s a shortcut way to set outlook rules for SharePoint alerts. If you use the SharePoint task lists heavily – you will know that you can quickly get a flood of emails – so this makes it that much easier to organize it all.
