WORD BLOCK IN Email SUBJECT / TITLE LINE

Guest

Please tell me if there is a way to block emails THAT CONTAIN certain words
in the subject / title??? IF NOT please let's beg MS to create a patch that
will do allow blocking emails that contain words in the subject line. SUCH
AN OPTION WOULD BE A MAJOR HELP AND SELLING FEATURE!

Tools Menu>message rules>mail>add.

Or set up such a filter on your ISP mail site if possible?

I see from properties you use, "Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000", and I don't
know that newsreader but Microsoft has had, "blocks", as you call them
within its newsreaders for many years. The call these, "Filters", by the
way. These allow you to filter almost anything in and almost anything out.
Between the two you can set-up a filter to either ignore, or even delete,
posts containing words you do not wish to see, people you do not want to
hear from or subjects you do not like. You can set the filter up to exclude,
or include, things in the message headers, subject or in the body of the
message. You can block people, e-mail addresses or whole domains. Look
under, "Tools", on the toolbar for, "Message Rules". You may find it comes
under, "Messages" as "Junk Mail", or, "Filters". Sorry I cannot be more
specific but I do not know that particular Newsreader. You could also use
the program's, "help", system which should be on the toolbar or try pressing
the, "F1", key on the keyboard.
