Using Email Rules to filter text in HTML

[Guest]

Hello. I've been receiving a number of pieces of SPAM that I can't seem to
filter. Since the header is "always" different on this particular series of
SPAM, but a portion of the body is "always" the same I'm trying to filter
using the Rule: "with specific words in the body". The problem is (I think)
the text is HTML and instead if simply parsing the text in the body, Outlook
is parsing the HTML and not filtering. I'm trying to filter on a domain name
that's in a link in the HTML. Any idea of a way to filter on these types of
SPAM? Thanks.

what if you change from HTML mode to text mode?

Alas, rules that search the body for specific words don't work well or at
all for HTML messages.

Well, I do want to see HTML in some of my email, but I tried it to see if it
workes (I've saved some of the SPAM). I can see the links clearly now, but
the filter still doesn't pick it up.

Yes that appears to be the case. I was kinda hoping that there was some kind
of script or rule or something that says "don't interpret the HTML while
scanning".
