Default OE6: Can email with certain words in body be blocked?

I don't remember seeing this as an option in the mail rules or anywhere
else..

If not possible with OE6, is there an add on program or FREE program that
will do this?

Yes, but such a rule cannot "delete from server" since the message must be
downloaded to read the text in the body of the message. As such the best
you can do is 'mark it as read' and 'move to the deleted items' folder.

A sample would be:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the message body contains 'the word you desire'
Delete it
and Mark it as read
