It is far more likely that you can change the build system than you can change 
Outlook. :-)

Take a look at places such as MapiLabs and slipstick.com to see if they have 
advanced rule processing add-ins.

But the build system probably has a little script sending the emails that could 
be changed to "Build succeeded 1.2.4.x.x.x" and you can match only on the first 
part. I'd check that out.

Subject: [Exchange] Outlook rules 'and-ing' on a subject line?

User gets build notifications in email - lots of them.

User wishes to discard irrelevant notices, and would like to do so by examining 
the subject line with a rule.

There are emails from multiple build processes, for various iterations of our 
products.

So, he will get notices for, e.g.
     Build 1.2.4.x.x.x failed
     Build 1.2.4.x.x.x succeeded
     Build 1.2.6.x.x.x failed
     Build 1.2.6.x.x.x succeeded

He'd like to discard only the
     build 1.2.4.x.x.x succeeded
messages.

I don't see a way to do that on the subject line alone, so I've asked him to 
see if there are unique elements in the body of the discardable messages as 
that plus the subject line fragment 'Build 1.2.4.x.x.x'
should be a sufficient and condition.

But I'd like to know if I'm missing any bets. I've already done a fair amount 
of SFTW, and found the universal claim that you can't use wildcards, so that's 
out.

Any other ideas?

Kurt
