I modifiy it in order to forward to any person included in the "To" field of the original message. Now my Oracle database can send email to one account who forwards the email to any specific account. That's exactly what I need it. Thanks a lot from your code! I modifiy it in order to forward to any person included in the “To” field of the original message.

If you delete item #1, then sometimes you have a hole at item 1, and sometimes item #2 becomes item #1...meaning that there's no longer an item 2 and you throw an exception when you try to delete #2 as it's suddenly #1. So you need to reverse your loop and delete from the largest item to the smallest (i.e. delete item #1 last) Then you never run into isues. I see this in your code:
If (forward.ReplyRecipients.Count > 0) Then
For i = 1 To forward.ReplyRecipients.Count
forward.ReplyRecipients.Remove (i)
Next i
End If

I adapted your code for OL2003 (should work in OL2000 and 2002 as well). If anyone wants a copy, email me at jp2112 (at) earthlink .dot. net.

I have another rule that looks for the text "To: Bug Reports" or "; Bug Reports" which also forwards to that folder, under the assumption that 'Bug Reports' has been BCC'd off the email. If getting BCC’d angers you, then clearly you just need better rules. :)
