Setting up rules, the subject line changes
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a rule for invoices to forward to a specific place however, generally the subject line comes through as "Invoice 123456 from The Suppliers Name here"
I can't shorted the subject line in the rule to invoice as that isn't specific enough and I can't shorten it to the suppliers name as that would include emails that aren't invoice related, but as the invoice number changes each time I'm unable to use the subject line as is.
Can anything replace the number, but keep the complete subject line intact, such as;
"Invoice !!! from The Suppliers Name here" and the code advises the system that any number can be here in the middle of the subject title.
Thank you

clear message's categoriesI would keep on trying to get it working with the least amount of words, but use the ones that will match the invoices. Are you in New Outlook/Outlook Classic or OWA?
