How can I create a rule that deletes HTML formatted Mydoom emails.

I am getting a lot of HTML formatted email from people infected with the
W32.Bofra.C@mm (aka W32.Mydoom.AK@mm) virus. (See here from info on the
virus:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected])
I have tried to set up a rule in Outlook to detect and delete these, but the
rules don't work. The rule searches for text in the body of the message
("weblog", "webcam" etc.), and I'm assuming that doesn't work because it's
HTML formatted. But there is no other way to identify these emails (subject
varies or is blank, from address varies etc.) Does anyone have an idea on
how to set up a rule that will work?

Do you have an ISP? If so, they may have a virus filter you can enable.
Otherwise, you can use an antivirus tool on your PC to delete the nasties.
