This is an interesting idea. Not sure if it's possible with the "customized" (/sarcasm off) version of O365 that the state is using. I'll look into it.

You can amend the subject using a transport rule (at least per this KB you can: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj919237(v=exchg.150).aspx) Prepend the subject of the message with PrependSubject Prefix Not applicable This action prepends the Subject of the message with the specified text. Honestly, that is as far as I think you can go unless you want to add the ADM template with a pre-defined rule. The way the transport rule would work would be: - The sender is.. [[email protected]] - Prepend the subject of the message with.. [Add subject text here] So when [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> shoots an email off, the transport pipeline and then tag at the beginning with your predefined text in the subject. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Exchange] RE: Strange request from executives Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2013 15:39:57 -0500 Flag? I mean, if they want the little red flag within Outlook then that would have to be a rule pushed out via GPO (via Office Admin Template). If they want to amend the subject to add something like [CONTRACTOR] to the subject then they could use a HUB transport rule. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998315(v=exchg.141).aspx<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998315%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx> You could also write up a custom transport agent, but don't think that is even possible.. as you would have to manipulate the MAPI property on the incoming message to say "he / she is a contractor, so flip the mapi flag to flag this message within Outlook". I never tried that before, but I would be interested if that worked. PS: I dont think you can edit the subject of the email message anymore with a transport rule in Exchange 2013... unless they changed the lingo around and I am not reading this right: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998315(v=exchg.150).aspx<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998315%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx> Thanks, Adam F ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Exchange] RE: Strange request from executives Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:26:40 +0000 Most likely would be a transport rule; what version of Exchange?
