subjects etc.

<sent rule creation instructions privately in response to email>

When creating the mail rule, use:

- "where the message body contains"
- "delete it"
- "mark it as read"
- "stop processing more rules"

For the first one, enter this line of text: "latest version of security
update"

Hi Rick

All the bogus messages went straight to delete folder. A couple of dozen
from McAfee warning of the infected files came into my inbox. Thanks for
