Ive just done some message rules in O\Express under mail rules.I ticked
where subject line contains specific words and added them one at a time,
and also ticked where the message body contains specific words and added
one at a time.
Then i ticked \delete it\\and stop proccessing more rules i okayed it and
applied it.
I then sent an e-mail to myself with a prohibited word in the subject line
and then another in the message body but they both
were recieved into my inbox intead of my deleted items folder

where have I gone wrong??
Is there a how to on message rules that I can be directed to.
Thanks in advance

Try unchecking "Stop Processing more rules". Just have the "Delete it"
checked.

Tried that and didn't work so I unchecked where the message body option ,
and it now works.
Which must mean that I will have to make another message rule for the
prohibited words in the message body option.

I thought that by ticking the other option boxes it would apply all
prohibited words under one single message rule.
which to mee still seems that way, or should be that way,but I suppose I'll
just have to go through the long proccess of adding all the prohibited words
again to message body option and applying another message rule name or
number.
hopefullysomeone else may benefit from this info too.
