Default Message rule doesn't work

Ctrl+F3 will show you the message source. You'll have to search a bit. This
is from a message I had that was Mult-part containing HTML and regular text.

Content-Type: text/html;
charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

HTML xmlns:eXclaimer=3D"http://www.exclaimer.co.uk" =
xmlns:msxsl=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" =
xmlns:exc=3D"http://www.exclaimer.co.uk/rtf"
HEAD
META http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; =
charset=3DUTF-16"

You should see a similar view.

Thanks Bruce - Looks like I need to do a little "homework." I will say,
though, that the offending messages look exactly like ordinary text to me.
Is there another way to tell if the word is in an HTML section?

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
