Re: "Non-Text" Spam Ads

Hi Bruce,
None of your links address the problem, as far as I can see...

Thanks anyway,

Ah. I thought it was a blank message body you were referring to. Other that
a spam program, you can see if any of these message rule ideas are helpful,
but none will address this specific problem only.

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......

Thanks for the help!

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
