it's acceptable and if it meets your needs, it's real. The filter works
well enough for a number of people who just don't want to mess around with
configuring a better filter or are too cheap to spend any money (although
one of the best is free). If it doesn't, then there are several much better
options.

Do you consider the junk-mail filter in Outlook 2003 to be a "real"
filter. I've often wondered if I
should stick with it or try something else. It's far from perfect, but I
don't know if others are
any better.

Absolutely - a real antijunk filter is going to do much better than
rules..
and be easier to maintain.

I have created rules to permanently delete some of the incoming junk
mail but they do not always work and the mail finishes up in the junk
mail folder. I understand the rules don't work on emails which are
in html format. Messages in the junk mail folders are always
converted automatically to plain text and if I run the rule on them
they do get deleted!

Is it possible to create a macro (or another rule) which would run the
rule(s) to delete these messages once they are in the junk folder in
plain text? If so, I would appreciate your help in creating one as I
have no experience of writing a macro.

I gave up and I am using MailWasher. There are other such programs.
It seems to work a lot better than anything I could come up with.
