How to make a filter rule matching words x AND y in the subject

Hi,

Please can you advise on how to make a rule using multiple words in an AND
scenario instead of the default OR.

Example:

I want to make a rule where if the words "read" AND "this" appear in the
subject, then move it to folder x. So, if the email has either "read" or
"this" in the subject it WON'T be moved to folder x - it only gets moved to
folder x if BOTH "read" AND "this" are in the subject.

Please help, as I am slowly going crazy here on a night shift trying to
figure this out!

Thanks
ballie101 :)

While this doesn't match your question exactly, the technique is the same.
You'll just use a slightly different condition (in the subject instead of in
the body) and a different action (move to folder insteda of delete)

Thanks Guru Brian!

That's great! I just tried it and it works perfectly.

However, I have one final question regarding these filters.

Can you filter uppercase words as opposed to lowercase?

E.g.

I wanted to filter "SMART" to a folder, but anything that matches "smart" or
even "sma" would not get filtered.

Thanks
Alan :)
