120071 2003-02-10 20:53:00 Hi folks
I've been trying all morning to get a filter in Yahoo email to send spam messages to the trash. I only want to use the "Subject" filtering option on it's own at this stage.
It works fine if I only put one word in the box next to "Subject Contains" but how in the heck do I put more than one term in the box to cover the 60 million OTHER terms the spammers use in their Subject fields?
I've tried commas, (with a space after the comma and without...) and the word "OR" - but as soon as there's more than one word in that box, the filter doesn't work - I'm not up on filters, but I do know if you don't talk to 'em proper they don't work - can someone tell me the lingo?
Cheers

Anyone else?
