I used outlook express' rules to successfully lots of spam. I set up rules for words like mortgage, business, opportunity, cash,offer, viagra, etc, and any messages with those words in the subject heading were dumped automatically into the "spam" folder I created; I would then check that folder periodically to make sure there was nothing of value which slipped in accidentally, then deletethem. It worked well and it was a pleasure not to be inundated with garbage all the time.
Now I have outlook the complete version from the xp office suite, and it has an annoying problem: it won't allow me to separate the parameters for subject heading and the actual content of the message. In other words, if I indicate in the rules wizard the word "mortgage", it will dump any message containing that word into the spam folder, regardless of whether the word appears in the subject heading or the content of the message itself. all I want is the subject heading to be filtered. Otherwise, any message that contains one of those words anywhere in it will be dumped into the spam folder. This is ridiculous!!! Because I don't want to be deluged with silly offers from bogus mortgage people, doesn't mean I don't ever intend to use that word in the actual body of the message!
does anyone have a clue if anything can be done about this?
Thanks!
