I am running Outlook 2003 and it
catches spam that has gotten through to my Inbox and it's been 99.9% correct so
far. Does anyone know what Outlook uses to trap spam? Whatever it is, it catches
this type of email with garbage as the subject and body.
(I guess I should make it clear that
the body of the message is just like the subject line.)

Also, both the unknown words filter and the upper bit character filters include the subject. But they need to include the body as well in order to have enough text to make an accurate determination. That lets some of the junk through.I haven't been able to think of anything that would both work and be relatively safe (that is, wouldn't catch some legitimate mail). The problem is that the subject is so short that a single misspelling or foreign word could trigger the filter -- which would be bad if it was used as a delete filter.Any ideas are welcome.Randy.
