I've updated about 20 files that I now need to send around for review. I do not want to send this as an attachment so I'm inserting hyperlinks to the files which are stored on the network.

For this I use Insert-> Hyperlink but for each file I want to create a hyperlink to I need to browse back to the folder.

I sort my email by using Categories and I do the same for my outgoing emails.

When I forward or reply to a message that I have Categorized, my Categories are being removed for this forward or reply message and I need to reassign them.

Can I configure Outlook to automatically assign the Categories of the original message when forwarding or replying to a message? This would then automatically sort my outgoing emails.
