Thanks!

If I make a rule to remove from server when the message body contains a
phrase, will it be removed after the message is downloaded?

My wife and I each have a computer on our home network. If my computer
removed the bad messages, at least she wouldn't get them on her computer
(and vice versa). This would cut down on half of the very annoying mail we
are getting.

All of these emails have the same attachment, but come in about five
iterations in the message body. We get maybe twenty per day.
