Outllook 2003 rules problem with RE: and FW: in subject

I have created a rule to trap spam by subject words and move it to my deleted
folder. It has worked for months and I have hundred of spammer words in it.
However it recently started moving emails with the words RE: or FW: in the
subject to my deleted folder, and I do not have those words in my list. Is
there another way to see what exact words are in your list other than
scrolling down the outlook windows when you edit a rule?

Can't help you with this exact problem, but note that your method is not an
efficient way to combat spam....it will be a losing battle. Instead of using
that method (or even using Outlook's built-in junkmail filter) I'd suggest
you look at third party options - one very nice one is SpamBayes (google
it). It's also free. :)
