Hi:
I have Outlook 2003 with IMAP. I have an antispam plug-in that I am using
so I am not using the spam filter that came with Outlook. The plug-in has
worked very well but there are some rules within Outlook that I have tried
to set up and most of them work but there is one I cannot get to work. I
want to send mail from a specific person to the Junk folder EXCEPT if there
is a certain word in the body. I have tested it over and over with my name
as the specific person and it will not work if the word is in the body--in
other words it always goes to the junk folder. I can set up the rule to use
the word in the subject or in the message header or if it is marked as
important (for example) and it always works--in other words it won't go to
the junk folder but when I put the specific word in the body it will not
work. I have my mail set to download the full message and not just the
headers. I have read that the rules may not work right away after starting
Outlook but I have tried it at many different times. I can only think that
the mail must be sent to the junk folder before the body part of the message
is downloaded and therefore the rules don't read the body but they can read
the subject or the header in time. Has anyone else noticed this or is there
a way to get it to work? Thanks so much, Kent
