Outlook 2002 Rules query

I receive every so often an email detailing job vacancies. Sometimes the
email will have no jobs in it. What I want to do is to set up a rule such
that if the phrase "We have found the following 0 jobs" occurs in the email,
it is deleted. I can't see how to do that, as the action to delete is
*before* the "except with certain words" option, and because of the nature
of the phrase, I can't do it the other way round, i.e. say "delete the email
unless it has this phrase in it" because the number may vary from 1 to
anything up to 10 or more.

Anyone any ideas?

Found the answer I *think* - if I create a new rule from scratch I can do it
but *NOT* if I open the message and go to "Actions-Create Rule". How very
odd. Typical MS not-joined-up thinking.
