All,



I'm trying to filter the email-messages I receive in my Inbox.
In the filters.txt file I include a line saying:
Subject contains "patch".

Now I still receive mails that have 'patch' in the subject.


How to do this correctly?



Thanks a lot in advance,
Yves
 
You should go through the Rules Wizard. From the Inbox, click Tools, Rules Wizard and follow the prompts. I've tried adding words to the .txt document too and it didn't work for me either.
 
The Filters.txt file is basically just a readme file -- editing it won't
change anything. See the following page for more information and some tips
on handling junk mail in Outlook 2002 and earlier:
