Sender Address Format in Rules Wizard

[Harold]

MVPS:

In the Outlook 2002 Rules Wizard, there is an optional
rule which requires: "Specify a word or phrase to search
for in the recipient's address:"

Three questions.

1. In the search string, are any printable characters
excluded -- such as period, comma, or plus?

2. Does the search string require single-quote marks or
double-quote marks, or should it simply be typed in as-is?

3. Are the search string characters case sensitive?

Thanks.
Harold

I'm not an MVP.

In the Outlook 2002 Rules Wizard, there is an optional
rule which requires: "Specify a word or phrase to search
for in the recipient's address:"

Three questions.

1. In the search string, are any printable characters
excluded -- such as period, comma, or plus?

I suspect, though I haven't taken the time to test, that specifying ".xx"
and " xx" are equivalent. In other words, all punctuation is considered
word delimiters.

2. Does the search string require single-quote marks or
double-quote marks, or should it simply be typed in as-is?
As-is.

3. Are the search string characters case sensitive?

They don't seem to be for me.
