If I set up Outlook Express Ver6 to filter out unwanted
messages by using the Message Rules to look for certain
words in the Subject Line and the body of the message,
will the words be detected if they are not ordinary type
font like I am using in this question. I'll get some
emails that are professionally done, with pictures and
fancy printing in the body,I beleive it's called HTML.
Will these emails be filtered out if they have words in
them which are on the no-no lists?
Thanks,
Robert
