Using "AND" for subject line rule

G

Guest

I get some emails from a vendor that I'd like to setup a rule for. The
subject looks like this:
PRODUCTNAME release number HOTFIX hotfix number

I can't figure out how to do an "and" on the subject line. When I try to
setup a rule on the subject line, the only options are "OR". Obviously, if I
set it up for PRODUCTNAME "or" HOTFIX, I would get emails erroneously going
to the destination folder.

Thanks for any help on this,
John

Try this. Not sure it will work but it's worth a try.
Add this:
"PRODUCTNAME * HOTFIX"

Totally guessing, but it will let you use the wildcard so it's worth a try
if no one has a better idea.

Thanks for the reply. I setup the rule and will see if this works the next
time one of the advisories comes in.

Just had a couple of emails come through, and the "Productname * HotFix" rule
did not work.

Just when I'm starting to like Outlook rules again, something simple like
this seems to be so far out of reach...

You're wrong. Rules do not recognize wildcards.
