Thanks for the info. I did that, but I'm still seeing messages come through
with these words in the senders address and / or subject line. Am I missing
something? I have the rules checked, so they're supposed to be active.

I'm wanting to create and use rules in Outlook 2003 to fine tune junk
mail handling. Is it possible to create a rule that will search for
"Doctor*" in the From field or Med*" in the Subject field. You
can see I'm trying to use some type of wildcard character. Does this
work in Rules? I can't seem to find this in Help anywhere.

Yes. For the former, use the condition "with specific words in the
sender's address" for the first, using "doctor" as the specific words.
For the latter, use the condition "with specific words in the subject",
using " med" as the specific words. The string "doctor" will match not
only the word "doctor" (case is not significant), but "witchdoctor" and
"doctoring" as well. The same goes for the other string. " med" will
match " medicine", " meds", and "whe med" as well.
