Writing a filter
I'm trying to think how I can write a message filter that will filter
"empty" message bodies, like those that contain just an image. Any good ideas on how that may be done?

Box 1 - Where the Subject line contains specific words

I suppose I could try that filter on the subject line to test for blank
subjects. Those could be deleted before downloading. But I guess I'll just have to put up with the "blank" message bodies activating the new message toast. "Ron Sommer" wrote in message ...

You're welcome. Want to do blank subjects too? Here's the whole shebang. I
just gave you the message body part before. For Blank Subject: Box 1 - Where the Subject line contains specific words Box 2 - Delete it from server, or Delete It and Stop processing more rules to send it to Deleted Items. Box 3 - Click on the blue "Contains specific words" and Add *one at a time* a, e, i, o, u, y, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Click: Options and change to: Does not contain.... {This is how it's been suggested to create the rule for a long time. I include the entire alphabet so an e-mail with a subject like XP will not be rejected}. For Blank From: See rule #1, and For Blank To & CC: See rule # 2 he http://www.mindspring.com/~majik/messagerules.htm For Blank Message Body, Do the same as Blank Subject, but for the action, choose: Delete It and Stop processing more rules, as the message has to be download for the rule to realize the message body is blank. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Clair Da Loon" wrote in message ...

That can't be done if there is adjoining text. Use the "Block images......"
option in the Security tab. That was the reason for adding this feature. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Clair Da Loon" wrote in message ...
