MS Office Forum / Outlook / Interop / November 2004Outlook rules
Is there a way to use only numerals within an Outlook rule? Any rule I create with numerals are ignored. Specifically, based upon a certain set of numerals within a senders address I want to then forward that email to another email account. how does the rule read? Are you using one that says in the To field or one that looks forwards in the header?

I edited the rule to look as follows: Apply this rule after the message arrives with '0089_' or '0089' or '0089*' in the message header forward it to sample@sample.net Still no success. I tried using them individually in the rule too. I appreciate your help. Any other ideas? >-----Original Message----- >try with 0089_ in the header... [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > >. Test it by adding a flag or importance level in place of forward - this will let us know if it's failing on forward.

I edited the rule to mark an importance level of high with no success. Just to let you know, when I change what to look from numerals to alpha characters the rule works just fine. The rule ignores the numeric characters. For example, the senders address is 0089_smith@sample.net. The rule will not work for 0089, but it will work when I use smith. >-----Original Message----- >Test it by adding a flag or importance level in place of forward - this will [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] > >. I haven't tried this, but have you tried, "0089_"? grep > I edited the rule to mark an importance level of high with > no success.
