Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Message rules question Something to keep in mind when it comes to message rules in OE. Even though Jaws might read the subject line like a sentence from left to right, they are actually headings to columns. For this group, I went into the message rules and in the first section, you have 12 choices. I chose the 3rd one down. "Where the message body contains specific words." Then when you have to fill in that field, I just put, <[email protected] Then every time a message from this group comes in, it sees that rule and moves the messages to their proper folder. Sometimes you have to play with different settings to find the one that works. I've been setting up message rules in OE for several years. After you do it a few times, you get the hang of it.
