OE Message Rules

[Frank]

Norton Anti-Spam has "Auto Generated" the following message rule:

"Where Subject Line contains '[Norton AntiSpam]'"
"Move to it the Old Personal Mail folder"

I would like this rule to send such mail to the "Norton AntiSpam Folder" as it should and used to be; however, clicking on the destination folder in the rule has no effect.
As a further note - I thought about simply placing my own rule above this rule but but it's the first rule and it ain't movin'.

Thanks,

Frank

This is not your answer, but do you see the post before yours, "HTML or no?"? If you need to post in HTML, fine, but when people read your posts in the bottom window of OE, HTML is actually harder to read, because the line length is very long. Also, Times New Roman font is ugly, but was specifically designed so that readers of the London Times could read an article as efficiently as possible.
Hope you get an answer...

"HTML
or no?"?

Let me point out that the phrase "the post before yours" is
generally meaningless in newsgroups. That's for at least three
reasons:

1. Not everyone sorts newsgroup messages in the same order. You
may sort them by ascending date, someone else may sort them by
descending date, or by subject, or by from. So what you see as
"the post before" may be "the post after" to somebody else, or
even hundreds of messages away.

2. Depending on what server you use to read the newsgroups, post
may be propogated to it aat different speeds. The message you see
as ""the post before" might not even have arrived at everyone's
server yet.

3. Even if your server and my server gets a message at the same
time, if we download posts in batches, and we don't download the
batches at exactly the same time, you may get messages I haven't
received yet.

Yeah, I should have said "another post today" and hoped it applied to most
of the world! That is why I gave a literal rendition of the subject line
(please remove quotes).

OK, not a problem. I just wanted to clarify the situation for
anybody reading the message
