blank email

[Joe Blow]

I've been receiving a lot of email wirh blank subject and
no body text. I was wondering how I could set up a rule to
delete these emails.

Im using Outlook 2002

I have the same problem, but with 2003. Because I never received them
before, I'm thinking there is a problem with Outlook 2003. I'm getting
about 2 a day. Also, there doesn't appear to be a rule that works with
these "blanks."

I can think of two ways. The first way involves creating two rules. The
first looks for any letter or digit in the subject. (i.e., "a" or "b" or
"c" ... or "1" or "2" ...) and does nothing, but contains "stop processing
more rules". You only need to include the lower case letters, since rules
compare in a case-insensitive manner. The next rule applies to all messages
and the only action is "delete". So, all messages containing any letter or
digit in the subject will be delivered and all messages whose subject
contains nothing or only punctuation will be deleted.
