Rule for single word?

Is there a way to create a rule that will search for some number of
instances on a single word? If I get email that only have two words
such as:
Your document!
Important document
Open document

I can't create a rule that looks for document. That will take out
legitimate emails. If I could search for one instance of document,
that would work.

Is there a way to search for variations in a word? For example
xViagra
Viagra_

and look for *viagra or viagra*


Thanks,
Brett

No.

Ass will apply to Bass, Document will apply to Your Document, etc. No way
around that.

For something like Viagra, that will not stop V1agra. Every possibility
would have to be added separately.

You can search for the phrase "Your document!" or "Important document",
etc. Just ADD the phrase (without quotes) to the rule.

As for wild cards, they are implied. If you put viagra in the rule it
will be found with or without any leading or trailing characters.

The thing to understand is that OE does a string search for that string
of characters appearing anywhere ion the field.
