Email Rules: How to do starts with?Hi. Is there a way that I can makes an exception of the form "starts
with" or "ends with" in Outlook rules. For instance, I want to filter mail to a particular folder unless the subject line starts with a particular string (such as RE or FW). Is there a way to make it evaluate general regular expressions during the rule application (god that would be nice--not that I should expect anything so useful from MS)? Outlook does not support regular expressions. Exceptions are supported.

Okay, but does it at least do starts with?

No. Include the colons - FW: or RE: will avoid words with those letter
combinations. -- Show quoteHide quoteDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-requ***@lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQU***@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

does. Some just use RE or FW.
