Default Message rule doesn't work

If the word is in an HTML section of the message, the rule won't see it.
That is the spams that look like a small poster rather than just ordinary
text.

Hello,

I get approximately 6.23 x 10^23 spams every day with the word "PHARMACY"
in the body text, so being a smart guy, I created a message rule to kick
those messages into the Delete folder. Problem is, it hasn't been working.
To make matters more mysterious, when I send MYSELF a test message with
the word "pharmacy" in the body text, it winds up in the delete folder as
it should.

Anybody know what gives?

Thanks,
Roy
