Automatic formatting doesn't scan message body?

**Wowbagger** · September 2nd 06, 02:55 AM posted to microsoft.public.outlook

In Outlook 2003 I have configured an automatic format rule to turn the
message red when it contains certain key words within the body of the
message but Outlook does not apply the formatting.

I am able to make the formatting work with key words in the subject line,
but not message bodies. Is this a know bug or are there additional
configurations that are required to make it work?

Running 2003 on an XP Pro machine, POP3/SMTP.

Care to show us your rule and describe how you created it? State also the
format of the mesage upon which you wish it to act.
