Question in Outlook 2003 - not being used with Exchange.  POP3 Only:

I have created a subfolder under my Inbox called "PDF".  I want all e-mails
with a pdf file attachment to go into this new subfolder.  Is this possible
and how?

I tried having it search in the headers for *.pdf, but it doesn't work.  
Maybe it doesn't recognize wildcards?  Any work arounds?

I do not believe this is possible.  Outlook can detect the presence of an
attacgment but not its name.

Outlook's rules do not support wildcard.
