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
