Anthony,
Try this rule, on both a virgin message with attachment and a
forward of that message:
B~name=.*\.dox:NUL
So that rules don't catch this message, note that the "x" in dox
should be changed to a "c" when you implement the rule.
I've found that constructing rules as above (to trap file
extensions) results in the highest number of hits -- much more
effective than the more "popular" method that you are using:
> B~filename=".*\.dox":NUL
(same substitution of "c" required for the "x").
Let me know whether this takes care of your situation.
