How do I do a rule for a blank "To" field?

I want to move any SPAM messages that don't contain anything in the To or
From or Subject field into the junk folder. How do I do this?

Think in reverse. Instead of testing a message doesn't have a character
or string in the header and then perform the function, instead do the
function unless the header has the character or string. Move to junk
folder EXCEPT if the header contains "a" or "e" or "i" or "u" or a digit
(0-9).

oh yes there is.

When messages arrive, select no criteria (you'll get an info message - keep
going) then set the action, then set the exceptions.

Hi Judy,

How do you put a range of characters in such as (0-9), which doesn't work?
Is there more documentation on Outlook rules? There is not very much in the
Help file.

Yes it does. Enter "0", click Add. Enter "1", click Add. Enter "2", click
Add. Etc.
