Default Message Rules

That one isn't so easy. If you create a rule to delete or just : it
will, but it will also delete legitimate replies or Forwards that include :
and then any subject.

Bruce, thanks for your help. I also get ones with "" and then blank.
Would the same system work by adding ":" in the rules?

For Blank Subject:

Box 1 - Where the Subject line contains specific words
Box 2 - Delete it from server
Box 3 - Click on the blue "Contains specific words" and Add *one at a
time*
a, e, i, o, u, y, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
Click: Options and change to: Does not contain....

{This is how it's been suggested to create the rule for a long time. I
include the entire alphabet so an e-mail with a subject like XP will
not
be rejected}.

For Blank From: See rule #1, and
For Blank To & CC: See rule # 2 he

For Blank Message Body, Do the same as Blank Subject, but for the
action,
choose: Delete It and Stop processing more rules, as the message has to
be
download for the rule to realize the message body is blank.
