Outlook Express Message-handling Rules
by John Buck, June 2000 Stanford Palo Alto UG newsletter
Outlook Express allows you to block messages from specified senders or to specify other message-handling rules.     I've just received a message from a sender I don't know. Judging from the title of the message, I don't even want to read it. I don't want to ask the sender to stop, because that can result in me getting more messages, possibly from other senders. So that I don't have to read additional mail from this sender, I selected the message, then clicked "Message/Block Sender. ../OK", starting at the menu bar. Until I change my Blocked Senders List, messages from this undesired sender will be sent, unread, directly to my	Deleted Items area. To edit my Senders List, I click "Tools/Message Rules/Blocked Senders List", starting at the main Outlook Express menu bar. Then I can edit the list. Outlook Express also lets you create and edit other message-handling rules. As with blocking messages from a specified sender, you start by clicking Message as described above. Similarly, to edit or delete a rule, you start by clicking Tools as described above. For more information about blocking a sender or creating a rule for some other situation, use Outlook-Express Help.
