Default Outlook 2003 rules on more than one line

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to use Outlook 2003 to make a rule
in which all mails with the following string of text in the body;

"something
empty line
empty line
something else"

is handled and mail with the following string isn't handled;

"something
empty line
any string of text that can be 1 or more lines long
something else"

If I where able to include a line break in the making of the rule I
wouldn't have a problem. A rule on size wouldn't work since the length of
the mail varies and the above is just a portion of the mail. No other
useful difference can be found in the mail to distinguish the two kinds.

Outlook can't do that.

Too bad. I might be able to get it to work with VBA though, but that
might take a bit of trail-and-error.

Thank you for the reply.
