Button for MoveToJunkFolder

Hi,

First of all, it's Outlook 2003 on Windows XP.

I'd like to configure Outlook such that I can:

1.  Select a message(s) and, with a single click of a toolbar button, move
the message to the Junk E-mail folder, and mark those messages read.
2.  (Less Important) RMB on the message from within the Inbox window, see
the choice "Move To Junk E-mail folder" in the dropdown menu, and do #1
above.

IOW, I'm asking how to 1) extend the toolbar buttons and 2) extend the
dropdown menu.

I'm thinking for #1, I could write a macro that would take the selected
message(s) and move to the Junk E-mail Folder.  Then I could add the macro
invocation as a button on a toolbar.  Problem is, I'm not clued up on Visual
Basic.  So, if you could post the code to move a message(s) to a specific
folder, that would be much appreciated.

I guess another question would be why this functionality isn't built in to
Outlook 2003.  Mozilla Thunderbird does this better than Outlook and it's
OOTB.

Regards,
Scott

step-by-step instructions.

Thanks Bill.

From here:

Origin=RC010036361033
I
deduce that I cannot do #2 below.

I knew most of the bits about customizing the toolbars.  To distill my
problem to the bare essentials, I don't know how to create the macro.  If
someone has a macro that moves all selected messages to a particular folder,
could you please post the code?

Regards,
Scott
