The fact that you've written this demonstrates that Outlook has a 
way of enabling user-written filters for incoming email. To your 
knowledge, does Outlook allow filters for outgoing email too?

(The reason I ask is regarding my Herbivore program, which 
implements zero-effort encryption by filtering all incoming and 
outgoing email -- at some point I want herbivore to run on Windows 
email clients).

details of herbivore)
