[gui-talk] OE message rules

Fri Jun 30 16:37:53 CDT 2006

Okay.  I never even noticed the option to do this from inside that filter 
procedure that's kind of hard to do with Jaws, where people like to put 
email from this list into one folder, and email from another list into that 
folder, and so forth.  You know, where you set it up so that if the from 
line says x, or the cc line says x, then the message goes here or there. I'm 
not into that, so I never got too deeply into that stuff.  And for a while I 
used the simple blocking function, until I blocked someone by accident with 
that one-key command, whatever it is, and had to unblock them.  But that's 
all it required, a simple undo.  Just removing their address from a simple 
list.  So I'm sorry you're going through such complicated problems with that 
stuff.  Good luck
jeothered.

Hi Joel -- actually a block of a particular address is a special message
rule, and if you want to undo blocking of an address you go to the tools
menu and into message rules and select the blocked address option to get to
the list of blocked email addresses.  It is true that there is a simple way
to block an address -- I forget the shortcut -- but you can also block an
address by creating a message rule and going to the trouble of filling out
the form in the rules dialog.
Since blocking is a frequently used activity however, Microsoft made it
simple to do by creating a special command to block, but as I said if you
want to change your mind and unblock, you have to go to the message rules
list and do it.
Hope that's clear.
Thanks for the reply.

Laura,
I don't have an answer to your problem, but I'm confused about one thing.
So far as I know, "message rules in OE mean the function you have to set up
from the tools menu to route incoming messages into various folder, and that
sort of thing.  It doesn't refer to the blocking function for automatically
deleting messages from someone.  That's a different thing.

I suppose you know what you mean, but your saying "message rules" made me
think it might be worthwhile mentioning this.

Good luck.

Ok, I have a very weird problem with OE message rules that I hope someone
can help me with.
Now I'd love to know the whole story about message rules -- is there some
sinister, underlying rule I don't know about that would cause blocking rules
to reappear that I had deleted, with no warning???

Here's the problem: I accidently added David Andrews to my blocking list
some time ago when I was learning to do message rules, and immediately went
in and deleted the rul that ablocked his address.  Then sometime later I
noticed my deleted items bin was full of messages from Dave, and who knows
how many I lost before discovering this...
Then I went to the message rules and there was the blocking rule that I had
deleted -- so I deleted it again -- but now after months of the same thing
happening, I am beginning to wonder if my pc has something against David
Andrews (sorry Dave) or whether there is some system glitch or whether I am
accidently restoring that rule.
I definitely have not done anything to block anyones email, including
Dave's, and the fact that it doesn't happen to anyone else's address makes
me think my system is somehow restoring that practice rule that I added and
deleted so many months ago.
I just now removed the rule again for the 4th or 5th time, and I am getting
paranoid -- and perhaps Dave is too! *smile*

Has anyone else had this type of problem, and can you think of anything I
could have done to cause it?
Thanks in advance, and I'll try to check my deleted items folder in case
Dave replies...*smile*

Never trust a computer...*smile*
