Positioning Rules in Rules List
Outlook MVPs:
I run ... Outlook 2002 (10.2627.4219) SP-2 on ... Windows XP Professional Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633 : Service Pack 1) In [Tools Rules Wizard Apply rules in the following order:], I have the following 3 rules ... 1. Exception List 2. Junk E-Mail Text String 3. Junk E-mail Rule Do senders on my Exception List _bypass_ rules 2 & 3? In other words, do I have Exception List positioned in the correct place to prohibit senders from being routed to the Junk E-mail folder if their messages happen to contain the Junk E-Mail Text String? Thanks. Harold |

Positioning Rules in Rules List
Robert:
Reading from the dialog boxes on my screen, the rules are ... 1. Exception List (client only) Apply this rule after the message arrives from senders on my _Exception_List_ Do not search message for commercial or adult content 2. This message uses a character set that is not supported by the Internet Service. Apply this rule after the message arrives with _This_message_uses_a_character_set_that_is_not_sup ported_by _the_Internet_Service._ in the subject or body move it to the _Junk_E-mail_ folder 3. Junk E-mail Rule (client-only) Apply this rule after the message arrives suspected to be junk e-mail or from _Junk_Senders_ move it to the _Junk_E-mail_ folder In summary, rules 1 & 3 are just Outlook default formats for the Exception List and the Junk E-mail Rule. In rule 2, the text string is "This message uses a character set that is not supported by the Internet Service.". My use of underscores is meant to indicate where the Outlook rule text is underlined. Thanks. Harold |

Alright, well add the action "and stop processing rules" to all the rules
and you should be fine. This prevents that you end up with duplicates when more than one rule applies to you. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -Creating Signatures -Create an Office XP CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 3 ----- "Harold" wrote in message ...

Robert:
A follow-up question. When I try to add "and stop processing rules" to rule 1, I notice the Modify button in the Rules Wizard dialog box is not highlighted, and I have not been able to figure out what I should do to modify a rule when the Modify button is disabled. Could you please post a walk-thru example of what should be done to modify an existing rule, or could you refer me to a tutorial which covers this subject. Thanks for your guidance.

Is the rule selected? when you try to modify it? Otherwise delete it and
recreate the rule. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -Creating Signatures -Create an Office XP CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 3 ----- "Harold" wrote in message ...
