Does your email client support this "mail rule" feature?

Can yours look for text strings in the main body?

Hi,

Calling all emailers!

I'm setting up SPAM filtering on my server and need to asses how many of my clients will be able to make use of it and how. In order for it to be of any use they need to be able to set up their email client to use a mail rule / filter that will look for the text "This mail is probably spam" within the main body of the message and then move any matching emails to a seperate folder.

Can you take just 2 minutes of our time to see if you can do this in your own email application and tell me:

1. Whether you can or not
2. What email client you are using and the version number
3. Your platform and version e.g. Win2K, Mac OS X

Thanks in advance for your help.
