Junk mail issue

[Guest]

I have rules set up for my mail yet everyday I have to retrieve mail that
should had followed the rules. For example I have mail coming from a
message list that every message has LL in the subject line, so I created a
message rule saying all messages with LL in the subject line go to this
folder. Everyday I check the junk box and they's many messages with LL in
the Subject line, in fact I have yet had one message actually go there
directly all make a stop in the junk box first. I can not put everyone on the
list in the safe sender list, this list is one of 6 message list I'm a member
of and each list had from 100 to 500 members.
These's are not the only ones either. This morning my junk box said over
200 messages 1/4 to 1/2 was not junk....
Any ideas to help or can you point me in the direction of a mail program
that will work? I've been dealing with this problem since March when my
husband decide we need to make the switch, and even though he's a tech he's
of no help on this problem.

Thanks,
Lisa

I am not certain about this, but it seems that in Windows Mail
the internal junk e-mail rules operate before the custom
message rules do. Have you tried it with Junk E-mail set for
"No Automatic Filtering"?
Also, make sure that each one of your custom message rules
is terminated with "and stop processing more rules."

Well I tried as suggested by Gary and it still is not working. My husband
wonders why I hate Vista...

Since I can't look over your shoulder, I don't know why
your message rule isn't working.

My standard advice is that if there's something about
Windows Mail you don't like, try upgrading to Windows
Live Mail. You can always go back.
