I see several posts here suggesting that Microsoft add wildcards in the rules
wizard. Most of them seem to have to do with filtering junk mail, and
several people have offered alternatives by using the Junk E-Mail feature.
However, there are many good reasons why users would want to use wildcards
in rules that do not have to do with spam. For example, I receive many
messages every day from business contacts. Some of those messages contain
pricing information. Those messages that contain pricing information have
certain strings of keywords in them, but those keywords aren't always in the
same order, and certain keywords may or may not be in the header. Without
wildcards, I need to manually enter every permutation of keywords that may
occur. This is a time-consuming and endless task, and senders are always
coming up with new permutations. I would really like to see wildcards added,
I'm sure many other users would as well.
Does anyone know if Microsoft is working on adding this feature?
Thanks.
