Roshan Q
In Outlook 2003, I would like to build a rule that examines the Subject of a
message and applies an action based on the ENTIRE Subject, not just a word or
character string within it. More specifically, I receive from some internal
clients msgs. where the entire subject is "Hi", or "Hello", or "yo", to which
I would like to send a reply requesting that they resend the message with a
more descriptive subject (just a pet peeve of mine as it makes it very
difficult to manage my Inbox when I can't glean the contents of a message
from the Subject).
I set up a rule using "with specified words in the subject", but this
affects messages with these _character_ _strings_ in the subject. For
example, the subject "Philosophical Implications of ..." triggers the rule as
it contains the character string "hi" in the word "philosophical".
What I want is a rule that triggers ONLY if the ENTIRE subject contains,
e.g., "hi" -- no more and no less. In other words, it looks at the entire
subject, not just for character strings within it. Is there a way to do this?
