I saw nothing in the Rules Help relating to scan of the message body.

Would appreciate any tips on how to define a rule that will scan the
message body for a user-defined spam-string.

So, you can't see the "with specific words in the message body" condition?

I missed it. Eyes are not what they used to be. Thanks.

So I use the wizard to create a rule: if "Replica Watches" found,
delete message. Rule active.

I had saved the last spam from days ago. So, I forward it to
myself to test.

And it failed. Left the forwarded spam with "Replica Watches"
in the inbox.

But wait! If I copy, paste into an editor, "Replica Watches" becomes:

Re ubx pl cmb ic gop a ygp Wa nuk tch snt es

So the garbage-spamsters are doing some kind of coding.

Should I try, create a rule for such code? Think it'd do any
good?

I only need something that works.

http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ works for a lot of people.

Or should I pursue program above?


Thx,
