[Ham-Computers] Re Filtering Empty Fields

[Dan Violette]

According to the listed trick.  You set-up a rule to tell it to delete every message.  Then in that rule you say "except" if it has an a, e, i, o u, y in it.  This should then not delete anything with something in the subject.  Reverse thinking I know, but a trick that would work assuming you don't get e-mails with a subject that has no vowels.  Guess you could make an exception for every letter of the alphabet.  I would not delete though in case an error in logic and would just file into a folder.  Not sure of your need, nor how often you get blanks.  Supposedly Outlook ignores FW: and RE: so "FW:" is considered blank too.  Not sure about this.
