use outlook rules to send message to network location

outlook 2007 or outlook 2010
looking to create a rule which sends a message to a mapped drive OR unc path

in the screenshot below you see what rules i can apply to a message

how can i achieve this? ...what about using the "run a script" action?
what sort of script is required? thanks for your help.

Run script IS the way and something like:

Chris

Sub saveMailandAttach(mai As MailItem)
Dim dosFolderPath As String
Dim intIncrement As Integer
Dim fn As String
Dim ft As String
Dim FSO As Object
Dim Subject As String
Dim del As Variant

    dosFolderPath = "c:\deleteme\"
    If Right(dosFolderPath, 1) <> "\" Then dosFolderPath = dosFolderPath & "\"
    Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
    Subject = Left(Replace(mai.Subject, """", " "), 20) & " " & mai.ReceivedTime
    For Each del In Array("/", ":", "*", "?", "<", ">", "|")
        Subject = Replace(Subject, del, " ")
    Next
    mai.saveas dosFolderPath & Subject & ".msg", olMsg

Set FSO = Nothing
End Sub

is that all it takes? is it flaky? reliable? do you use this....?

Chris Bottomley

Is that all it takes, yes
Is it flakey ... might be if you're receiving hundreds of emails at a time
DO I use it ... yup in many permutations deleting attachments, saving attachments as well and the like.
