Message rule problem

[simonc]

There is an annoying spam mail which I receive once or
twice a day and I am trying and failing to set a message
rule to delete it as it arrives.

The text appears to contain the words "Penis Growth" (sorry
if this offends any sensitive souls) but needless to say a
rule to delete messages including this text doesn't work.
The message arrives in HTML format and if you actually look
at the source code this contains Pe<A href=""></A>nis Gro<A
href=""></A>wth. The <A tabs obviously prevent recognition
of the text "Penis Growth", but I have tried a rule to
recognise "nis Gro" and this doesn't work either.

Can anyone suggest a message rule which will detect and
delete these messages?

Grateful for any help.

Rules that look for a phrase in the body don't work on HTML messages. Pick
another criterion (subject line, for example). With OL 2003, you can also
filter on the header information. Many people also use programs like
SpamBayes (http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/) to rid themselves of junk
mail.
