Re: Annoying problem - blank To, From, Subject and Text
I have this same problem, BUT, I don't see an "options" tab to select when
trying to create a rule.

Re: Annoying problem - blank To, From, Subject and Text
When you click the Add button, the Options button is in the same dialog box.
For Blank Subject: Box 1 - Where the Subject line contains specific words Box 2 - Delete it from server Box 3 - Click on the blue "Contains specific words" and Add *one at a time* a, e, i, o, u, y, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Click: Options and change to: Does not contain.... {This is how it's been suggested to create the rule for a long time. I include the entire alphabet so an e-mail with a subject like XP will not be rejected). For Blank From: See rule #1, and For Blank To & CC: See rule # 2 here: http://www.mindspring.com/~majik/messagerules.htm For Blank Message Body, Do the same as Blank Subject, but for the action, choose: Delete It and Stop processing more rules, as the message has to be download for the rule to realize the message body is blank. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "D.S." <donstock@cox.net> wrote in message news:%23$y5TtD$FHA.160@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... >I have this same problem, BUT, I don't see an "options" tab to select when >trying to create a rule. > > I'm running Outlook Express version 6.00.2900.2180 > (xpsp_sp2_trm.040803-2158) > > Donald donstock@cox.net > "Kuay Tim" <TimJohn@msn.com> wrote in message > news:O3eBNBa3FHA.268@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... >> You're welcome, Bill. >> >> -- >> Tim K. >> aka Kuay Tim >> MS-MVP - Outlook Express >> Lynnwood, WA >> * >> "BillW" <xxx@xxx.com> wrote in message >> news:JuKdnbnZwvFuYfneRVn-tg@comcast.com... >> Thank you very much for your help.
