When writing an email rule using the rules wizard if you select permanently
delete the message with xxxxxxx in the subject the wizard also selects the
"stop proccessing morre rules option" and i am unable to turn off that
command. I would like to permanently delete an email message but continue to
proccess more rules. Anyone else had this problem or found a work around?
Thank you.

If the message gets permanently deleted, it won't be there for any of the
subsequent rules to act upon. If you're permanently deleteing it, what do
you think your other rules could do with it? You could certainlt put that
rule last, but then if a prior rule acts upon it, if it doesn't copy or move
it to another folder, whatever the rule does with it will just be undone by
the rule that deletes it, so why process it with any other rules? If a
preceeding rule does copy or move it, why permanently delete the original?
You'll still have the copy in whatever folder you move it to.
