create rule based on the DISPLAYED from field
Hi Group,
I'm using Outlook 2007. Is it possible to create a rule that searches the text displayed in the "from" field? I would like to delete messages with certain offensive words in the "from" field, but I'm unable to find any rule that does that. I can see the words of "interest" if I go to Message options / Internet headers, but how do you build a rule based on that ? thank you, andy

create rule based on the DISPLAYED from field
Diane, I tried that and it doesn't work.
It's about the v... word (blue pill) that shows as "from" like this: Free v... and cia... or GetFree V... or V... promo etc. I set up a rule that checks for the v... word in the message header, then permanently deletes it. But apparently the rule is not working... I'm not trying to catch the from address, because that changes with every new email. I'm just trying to catch the word in the displayed "from" field. Any suggestions ? Thank you By the way, I'm using v... instead of full name because I posted this earlier but it never showed up, so I'm assuming that there must be a filter at work here, on the newsgroup...

There is a filter on these groups, otherwise they'd be useless and full of
spam. Is the word in the full internet header? right click on the message, choose options. Copy and paste into notepad so you can see it better. BTW - outlook's junk mail filter (outlook 2003 and up) should get most junk - the little bit left behind usually isn't worth rules. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Poll: What version of Outlook do you use? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=27072 "andy" wrote in message ...

create rule based on the DISPLAYED from field
I found some in my junk mail folder with "V**** Best Online Store" display
name - a rule looking for those words in the header worked. This is the rule I made that worked: http://xsolive.com/Outlook%20Screen%...rm.aspx?ID=133 -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Poll: What version of Outlook do you use? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=27072 "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Thank you, Diane,
It works now - I just realized that the search is case sensitive... "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ... There is a filter on these groups, otherwise they'd be useless and full of spam.
