What folder does Outlook 2007 use for scripts?

Outlook doesn't use .vbs scripts with rules. A "run a script" rule action uses not an external script but a VBA procedure with a MailItem or MeetingItem as its parameter. That item is processed by the code. Here's an example:

Sub RunAScriptRuleRoutine(MyMail As MailItem)
Dim strID As String
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim rply as Outlook.MailItem

strID = MyMail.EntryID
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set msg = olNS.GetItemFromID(strID)
' do stuff with msg, e.g.
Set rply = msg.Reply
rply.Body = "What you want the reply to say."
rply.To = "who@where.com; who2.RemoveThis@where2.com"
rply.Send

Set msg = Nothing
Set rply = Nothing
Set olNS = Nothing
End Sub

CAUTION: Using this technique has been known to result in corrupt VBA code. Be sure to export your code modules or back up the VBAProject.otm file.
