This is exactly what I did but it didn't work.. The Message Rule I created is:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the Subject line contains 'Pfizer' or 'Lilly'
Move it to the Junk e-mail folder
Looking at one of the SPAM Emails, when I look at
"Properties->Details->Message Source shows this around the From: line
Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:04:04 -0800
From: "Pfizer Internet " <Tyler.Mckay@xxxxxx>
Subject: Order Reminder
However, when I put this message in the InBox then "Apply now" the Message
Rule to the InBox, this email is not moved to the Junk Email Folder. I would
think it should have matched on the Message Rule, but it doesn't seem to.
