Outlook ignores rules

[Dudely]

Outlook 2000 is ignoring some of my rules. Please note, many of my
rules do in fact work. There are however a handful that simply will
not do what I tell them to do.

For example, I have a rule setup to look in the message header for "X-
Sender: (e-mail address removed)" (no quotes) - I'm simply cutting &
pasting from a real received email whose spam I'm trying to delete.
It processes my inbox, but never finds a match even though it is
without question in there. I've also tried looking for the From: line
as a match on the sender. No go.

Any solutions?

Thank you in advance

You should post this in an Outlook newsgroup where you'll get the attention
of the Outlook experts.

Here's a solution: Ask in a group with OUTLOOK in the title. Notice
this group lacks that title.
