Spam Email

I am getting a fair amount of spam email which is not even written in the
English langauge. I would like to automatically delete these emails
permanently but I can not figure out any rule to make this happen.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I suggest you get a good SPAM filter.

If you really want to use Outlook to do it, make a rule that says delete
incoming email except if the subject contains a e i o or u.

Thanks Judy thst sounds like a good idea. When I create the rule if I put a
space between each letter it automatically assume a "or" for each letter?

Judy,

I figured it out. I had to put each letter in on its own line but it works.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Outlook 2007 and I have already implemented the rule that Judy suggested and
it works but unfortuneately there are many of these emails in other languages
which include at least one of the vowels.

Have yuo tried altering the International properties of the Junk E-mail
filter to classify messages using non-ENglish encodings as junk?
Actions>Junk E-mail>Junk E-mail Options>International

Thanks, I had not done that so I set it up.
