Vista - Messages rules and junk folder problems

11-12-2007

I set up my wife's computer with WLM (upgraded WM).
Some of her messages that have rules associated with the subject go to
the designated folder, some go to the junk folder. I do not see why the
messages are sent to junk. Are there known problems with the message
rules (or sending messages to the junk folder when the system should not
do this)?

If I'm not mistaken junk rules are processed before filter rules.
I got around this by disabling junk filtering, and creating my
own rules to weed out the junk.
