Junk Mail Filter Rule

[RFJ]

Is there a way I can set up a rule that looks for an attachment,
"DELETED.TXT", for the email and the attachment to be deleted. (So far I
find a rule that searches for an attachment but it just looks for any and
all.)

TIA

What version of Outlook?

Milly,

It's Outlook 2000.

Outlook 2000 rules wizard was only marginally better than 98's which was
abysmal (IMHO). You will need to set your rule based on common criteria in
the junk mails. You might have more luck using "with specific words in the
message body" and use your term deleted.txt.

Thanks Milly - no luck there I'm afraid. The only uniqueness in the emails
I'm getting is that there is a file-attach "DELETED.TXT" created by the
antivirus software.

I've put a copy of Outlook XP that I've activated on that pc but don't seem
any better off.

Can it be done with XP.

TIA

Rob
