Outlook 2003 Rules and Junk E-mail Filter

[Guest]

I have a rule to permanently delete incoming messages with porn words in the
subject or body. But, the junk filter puts them in the Junk E-mail folder
before my rule can kick in. I believe that Microsoft should give you a choice
of where in your rules stack to run the junk mail filter. The problem with it
now is that when you open the Junk folder to see if there are any legitimate
messages, you're confronted with a list of messages with filthy words in the
subjects. Not a happy sight if a child is watching. OLK2000 allowed you to
prioritize your rules vs. your junk filter. Microsoft broke that with OLK2003.

Actually they didn't break it. They changed it because a lot of us asked
for the junk mail filter to run prior to rules so that our rules didn't sort
junk mail. I agree, though, that it should be under the user's control.
