rule doesn't work in body of message

P

Patricia Shannon

I am using Outlook 2003.
I am trying to create a rule to move messages from a certain source, with
certain words in the subject or message, to a specified folder.
I have tried rules specifying a word in the subject, body, or "subject and
body".
If the word is in the subject a rule can find it, and moves the message to
the desired folder.
However, I have not been able to get a rule to find a word in the body.
I can find these messages with a search.
I have tried it with and w/o "stop processing more rules".
I am shortly going to be getting hundreds of these, and it would be helpful
to have it automated.

I tried it with a different word that is in two messages, and that time it
worked on one message, but not the other!
