Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Message rules question Something to keep in mind when it comes to message rules in OE. Even though Jaws might read the subject line like a sentence from left to right, they are actually headings to columns. For this group, I went into the message rules and in the first section, you have 12 choices. I chose the 3rd one down. "Where the message body contains specific words." Then when you have to fill in that field, I just put, <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Then every time a message from this group comes in, it sees that rule and moves the messages to their proper folder. Sometimes you have to play with different settings to find the one that works. I've been setting up message rules in OE for several years. After you do it a few times, you get the hang of it.

This is a message from awhile ago, and I'm trying to work it out, but somehow I can't seem to get passed putting the name of the message rule. It also doesn't give me the option for new as stated in your message. Thanks your help would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 9:12 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MESSAGE RULES > Hi Josh & Wayne; > > These are for Outlook Express and I don't know if they work for Window's > Mail.
