| | Any possibility for boolean operators in message rules? My ISP filters a great deal of spam by adding the prefix [SPAM] to the subject line (or, by deleting it entirely before it reaches my computer). Unfortunately some of my legitimate emails are getting tagged as spam by my ISP, so I have to accept all of them into my inbox. Is there any possibility that boolean operators will be added to the message rules so that I can do something like IF subject line includes [SPAM] AND NOT from line includes knownfriend@hisisp.com THEN move to junk folder ? Thanks... |

| | Re: Any possibility for boolean operators in message rules? Thanks for your quick reply... I think the way I might end up doing it (if the operator NOT doesn't get added to the feature set in future releases) is to concentrate on tweaking Windows Mail's own junk filter and just turn off my ISP's junk filter. That occured to me to maybe be the most elegant way to go. ![]() "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: > Although the message rules allow some ANDs and ORs, > the Boolean operator NOT isn't in the feature set. > > Gary VanderMolen > > "geggytah" <geggytah@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7F4A19CB-F87A-404B-B038-1B19FAFF15F0@microsoft.com... > > My ISP filters a great deal of spam by adding the prefix [SPAM] to the > > subject line (or, by deleting it entirely before it reaches my computer). > > Unfortunately some of my legitimate emails are getting tagged as spam by my > > ISP, so I have to accept all of them into my inbox. > > > > Is there any possibility that boolean operators will be added to the message > > rules so that I can do something like > > > > IF subject line includes [SPAM] > > AND NOT from line includes knownfriend@hisisp.com > > THEN move to junk folder > > > |
