Outlook rule does not work

[rswoods]

I am trying to handle some of the spam I get by using Outlook (2003)
Rules. I have created a rule where if the body of the message contains
the word 'hoodia' to delete the message. It simply does not work. I
can see the word, and it is not obfuscated using any HTML tricks, but
when I run the rule, the message is not deleted.

Any ideas?

Judging by the lack of response, should I assume that Outlook 2k3 rules
just don't work?

Thanks

It appears that if the message is not Plain Text, the rule won't find the
string.

Too bad.... That seems to be a rather glaring bug.
