Outlook 2000 Rule to scan an attachment

Apr 11, 2005 3:36AM PDT

I have MS outlook 2000, SP-3.

I thought that there was a way using the rules wizard to easily scan an incoming attachment for a particular word and alert me. I could not locate any way to do that using the rules Wizard, maybe some of you have a suggestion.

Daily I get two emails from the same email address. The email has a txt file always named the same thing.

Everyday it arrives, I would like outlook to automatically scan the attachment for the word ?roll? and then alert me if the result is true.

Can you help?
