I want to have a rule that looks for the ABSENCE of a word.

Ie, if a message does NOT contain a keyword, do something special.

Outlook 2003, Sp2

Thanks...

Do the action
EXCEPT if <test_condition>

So instead of looking for the absence of a word that then triggers an
action, do the action unless the word is there.  The "except" clauses
are how you define negative rules.
