Rules - attachment type

K

KMiles

I've created an Outlook rule which automatically sends a
reply to senders if they have included an attachment and
the email is over 200KB. This works.

However I only want to send this automatic reply if the
attachments are not documents of type zip or pdf. I've
tried "except with selected properties of documents".
This does not include an option for document type. I've
treid document subject, title, presentation format, etc,
but these don't work.

How can I only restrict this automatic reply to only
emails with attachments which aren't zipped or pdf? If
this is not possible in Outlook, what downloads will do
this?

Thanks.

You can set the following acception if it is for Internet mail; unless the
header contains specific words

What if I'm only sending the automatic reply to my work
colleagues who use Outlook (rather than Internet mail)?

Internet mail; mail that has a header because it is being transfered over
the Internet.
Internally through an Exchange server will not work because the message
doesn't have a header.
