Please, please, PLEASE give us the ability to select all when we want to "run
now" on our rules and alerts.  It boggles my mind that this still hasn't been
added.

Cheers.

Huh?  In Outlook 2003 I can click Tools>Rules and Alerts>Run Rules Now and
select all my rules.

Are you really that dense?

Must I put my "select all" in quotes or spell it out even further?

We need the ability to select all of our rules at ONCE, not one by one which
is a pain in the arse when you have a ton.

There, got it now?

Words have meaning, as much as with what you say and with what you leave
out.  You did NOT ask for a "Select All" button anywhere in your suggestion,
did you?  No.  You asked for the ability tio select all your rules.
Clearly, checking each one fulfills that purpose.  If you want a particular
feature, be specific.

I did not write "the ability to select all of our rules".

I wrote, the ability to select all when .....

I should have thought an MVP would have had the sense to realize what I meant.

My mistake, I'll be as clear as I can in future.  Sheesh.

Even MVPs cannot read minds.
