Default Are character strings on a message rule case-sensitve?

I want to set up a message rule to block spam mail. I've already created a
list of keywords, but I would like to know whether OE treats "watch" is the
same as "WATCH" as well as "Watch".

Please help.

Rules are not case sensitive. On another note, block watch and you block
swatch. Block ass and you block bass, etc.

Bruce,
Creating_Rules_in_Outlook_Express shows how to create a move to folder rule.
There is no mention of adding Stop processing more rules, so that site could
be better.

outlook%20express%20notes.htm was missing all of the pictures.

TY. I probably haven't clicked on any of these links in a couple of years.
They're gone now.
