feature to expand junk email filter by links within emails

Outlook currently allows you to block senders or senders' domain in outlook
2003 with the junk e-mail feature. Everyone knows the sender could be anyone
if it's true spam, and it doesn't cost anything to change the from in spam
emails. Why not have the option of blocking emails with link to certain
domains in the emails? That way I could block emails with links to
maybond.info instead of getting some sort of cialis spam every day from a
different sender. Besides, even if I did get my wife to take cialis it would
be even more a bummer if she still had a headache. :)

You can sort of do that by creating a rule that deletes (or moves to Junk)
messages with certain strings (like URLs) in the body of the message.
