outlook not so smart

sometimes business technology is stupid. in fact, frequently business technology is stupid. like this: microsoft exchange is fairly sophisticated in what it allows you to do for sharing standard mail objects across within your organization. it has quite sophisticated rule capabilities for sorting incoming mail as well and even some for out-going mail - but they don't have the very basic feature of negating selection criteria. you can't say do this for everything that is not such and such. now that might not seem like a terribly useful or necessary thing, but there are a few use-cases that could at least be set up as a standard option. like do this for all messages not sent within my organization. this would be seriously useful, for say, adding a v-card to messages sent to business partners, prospective clients, etc. it's ridiculous that not only doesn't it exist, but it can't be set up without some kind of macro call. it's such a simple thing...adding not to things. sql does it. and while we're on the subject...microsoft...shouldn't it really have been named macrosoft. seriously.
