I would like to add the word "EXTERNAL:" to the list of subject prefixes like "RE:" and "FW:" that are ignored when sorting by subject in Outlook 2007.

For example, this message is sorted as if the subject was simply "Some Subject".

From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: RE: Some Subject

This reply is sorted as if the subject was "EXTERNAL: RE: Some Subject". (B.com's server is set up so that the word "EXTERNAL:" is added to the subject for emails that originate outside of b.com.)

From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: RE: EXTERNAL: RE: Some Subject

As an Outlook end user, how would I make the second email sort as if its subject was "Some Subject"?

What you can do here is to change internal message property SubjectPrefix. You can achieve the desired result by using free Set Header Value utility. Just specify SubjectPrefix as a Header name and EXTERNAL: as a Value to set.

You can do many things by manipulating Outlook message properties.
