Move email to folder, need to display more than subject as filename

OK, here is what im doin... need to move emails from my inbox to a folder on my hard drive. When I just click and drag the emails it works fine, but it changes the file name to the subject. I would need to display at least sender and subject as filename.

Any ideas?

I can not find any settings to change this, but I'm sure I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Thanks!

I think you are probably right but I am getting an error saying "compile error: user defined type not defined"

This happens at:

Dim oSfMsg As Redemption.SafeMailItem

I'm running Outlook 2003 if that makes a difference. I have never created macro's in outlook so mabey I'm doing something wrong

Sorry about that... I forgot to mention that in order to avoid the security warnings that outlook will throw when you save an email to disk via code I used the Outlook Redemption library. You can download Outlook Redemption from here:
http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/

If you install that (And set a reference to "SafeOutlook Library") it should run without the error. You will also need to delete the line that says:

oSfMsg.AuthKey = "str8isTheg8"

That line is custom specific to my setup but not required on a clean setup of Outlook Redemption.

Awesome... looks like it will work... I'm gonna have to make some tweaks to the code to meet our needs but this looks great!
