Are character strings on a message rule case-sensitve?
I want to set up a message rule to block spam mail. I've already created a
list of keywords, but I would like to know whether OE treats "watch" is the same as "WATCH" as well as "Watch". Please help. Jimmy Ho |

Rules are not case sensitive. On another note, block watch and you block
swatch.

Bruce,
Creating_Rules_in_Outlook_Express shows how to create a move to folder rule. There is no mention of adding Stop processing more rules, so that site could be better. outlook%20express%20notes.htm was missing all of the pictures. -- Ron Sommer "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

If I really want to block the word "watch", can I add a space in front of
the word, so OE can block both watch and watches? What about punctuation such as a comma and full stop immediately before or after the keyword? "Bruce Hagen" ... Rules are not case sensitive.

What about punctuation such as a comma and full stop immediately before or after the keyword? What if someone (to who you wrote and then replied) mentioned about setting a watchpoint in a debugger? Or when someone you know, like your own family, mentions "Go watch the parade past your block tonight"? The substring "watch" is not sufficient by itself to identify "watch spam". Start investigating how to incorporate a spam filter program in your e-mail setup. SpamPal is free. Did you enable the spam filter up on the mail server for your mailbox? |
