Default Outlook 2003 Rules and Junk E-mail

Hi There is a rule you can apply. Go to Outlook/tools/options/email/junk
mail/ and tick permanently delete/apply

Trust this helps

You're right about how Microsoft operates. That doesn't chage the
fact that there shoulc be an option added to run a rule before the
junk e-mail filter, because without that option, Microsoft is aiding
and abetting spammers.


I do agree that there should be a setting. You said, however, there "must"
be one. Those two words aren't synonymous.

Default Outlook 2003 Rules and Junk E-mail

Yes, Paul, Microsoft is playing God with e-mail, forcing us to view porn.
This is an unfortunate error in "judgement" that ends up supporting spammers
in the long run. There should be an option to override the junk e-mail
filter with message rules.

I found the following statement on the Outlook Tips web site
(http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives...20040209.htm):

"Outlook 2003 SP1 runs rules before junk e-mail filter. Update your
installation if you haven't already."

In my case, this isn't so; in fact, it's just the opposite. I have verified
that I have Outlook 2003, SP1, and I've already done a "Detect and Repair".
Still, the junk e-mail filter seems to have priority over my rules. The #1
rule in my list is to permanently delete messages with "porn" words in the
subject or body and stop processing more rules. I still end up with such
messages in my Junk E-mail folder. Any ideas on why this may be? (POP3
account). Thanks.

What does that have to do with the original conversation?

Um, no. All messages in the Junk E-mail folder are plain text. No images.
