    A great deal of my mail is spam and in much of that the subject is left blank.
    I would like to make a rule to the effect that if the subject line is blank, Outlook should move it to a folder named, say "Blank Subjects ", but I can't find a template that allows me to make such a rule. Please clue me in, if possible. Thanks.:confused:

    I just use the Junk Mail option to mark messages from senders as junk mail. That way if one of you No Subject spammers actually uses a subject, you'd catch it too.

    I'd create a rule with no criteria (ie effects every incoming email) which launches a VBA macro. The macro would check whether the subject line is blank, and if so would move it to the specified folder. There isn't any method which I am aware of to get the Rules and Alerts wizard to recognize blank/unfilled headers.
