Even though I use the check box specifying to move a message to a certain
folder, it copys it to the folder instead--then I have a copy in my inbox and
in the specfied folder.

I have deleted and set up the rules many times, making sure to check the
correct box, but it continues to do this.

All help is appreciated

Have you made sure to check the the "Stop Processing more rules" option in
our rules?

I'm sorry, but I don't know of what you speak. Can you explain it to me?
thanks.

When you create a rule in the list of actions for the rule to perform you
should be able to find an action called "Stop processing more rules". Make
sure your rule(s) include that action in addition to whatever else you want
the rule to do (move items, etc)

I created a new rule to find what you are describing, but there is no such
animal. I am using:

Tools
  Rules & Alers
      Create New Rule

then using the check boxes to create the parameters.  But, I haven't found
the wording you are referring to. I am in Outlook 2003.

You're creating the rules from a blank rule, correct?

If so, choose "Check messages when they arrive", Click Next
Choose your criteria, click Next
Choose your actions and also select the 18th action (at least on my machine)
which is "Stop processing more rules"

I found the check box and hope it does the trick. Thank you.

BTW: I was completely thrown by the extra characters in the messages. It
wasn'tuntil I saw what the BB did to my message that I could read yours.--It
looked like gibberish to me.

thanks again.
