Rule in Outlook 2003

[Bob Scalcione]

A receive alot of spam emails, that although my name is in the "To:" box it
is "mispelled" in the fact that the first letter is capitalized. Example,
Bwashington instead of bwashington. Is there any way of making a rule that
would check the words in the "To:" box and if it is Bwashington it would send
it to my junk email folder.

Thanks for any help.

Making a rule for such an email would be fruitless. Use your Junk Mail
filters better, or, better yet, download and install SpamBayes from
sourceforge.net. It is a Bayesian filter that will learn over time and mark
such mails as spam. I have been using it for more than a year and only get
perhaps one junk mail not caught per MONTH.
