no result. does anyone have a sugestion? thank you

the rule I am using goes like this "apply this rule after
the message arrives where the Subject line
contains 'viagra' or 'pills' and Where the message body
contains 'viagra' or 'pills' Delete it"

Hi, Mitch!
What is your rule supposed to do that it does not do?
 
This is a copy from a previous post reply in which I
included the message rule that is not doing it's job!

the rule I am using goes like this "apply this rule after
the message arrives where the Subject line
contains 'viagra' or 'pills' and Where the message body
contains 'viagra' or 'pills' Delete it"
 
If the incoming messages are in HTML format, the "message body" part of the
rule may not work. I can't remember if that's only in older versions of
Outlook or all of them. What version are you using?
