Re: "Non-Text" Spam Ads

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Yes, the ad (which is common to all the emails) is a block which looks like
text, but when you go to select a particular word or phrase, you cannot---it
selects the whole block as a single unit. The question of this post was to
find out if there is a way to refer to this common 'object' in a message rule
in order to delete all emails which include it.

DEAR BRUCE and KEN,

I don't think this will work because it is not a blank message body: these
letters all have the equivalent of at least a paragraph's worth of
nonsense
(ie streams of phrases or words, always different) following the solid
block.
This nonsense part of the letter is proper text, so the rules will not
pick
out the email......

Thanks for showing me you get the Options after Adding.

So the problem still stands......

Message Rule....

1: Select, Where the message body contains specific words.

2: Select, Move to specific folder (just for test purpose)

3: Select, Where the message body does not contain 'a' or 'e' or 'i' or
'o'
or 'u' or '1' or '2' or '3' or '4' or '5' or '6' or '7' or '8' or '9' or
'0'

In number 3 above, after you add "a", Options will change from grayed
out,
click it to select "does not contain".

Hope this helps,
Ken
