Outlook 2007 doesn't support Logic operations in "Rules and alert"

[Bailu]

Hi,

I want to filter my email with a AND operation, i.e.
when the message contains both "Sentence 1" AND "Sentence 2", I want
to
move it to a specific folder .

I found the Rule Wizard can only add OR style rules, instead of
AND.

Is there any way to do it ?


Thanks.

Either with a plugin (such as the ones listed at
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/auto.asp) or, presumably, if you built a
rule that would fire against every message, you could write vba code that
would then verify that both sentences are in the message and decide what to
do about it.

Out of the box, I can't think of a way to do it, especially since you can't
do 'NOT' rules.

Could you give some reference on VBA programming on Outlook
message(mail) processing ?
I have background of programming, but not familiar with VBA and the
terminologies in Outlook.


Thanks.

No, I couldn't. =) http://www.outlookcode.com or
microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or program_addins would be the places
I'd go.

Here's one way:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.outlook/msg/46292dddbdfa4336
This explains how to delete a message with two phrases in the body, but you
can change that action to "move to a specific folder".
