Rules - Moving Mail with an Attachment

I've tried this and it doesn't work. Any solutions - I am bombarded by these messages, too. I haven't found any way to move messages with an attachment named "Deleted Attachment.txt", nor can I view the attachment file name in the calendar view.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, TeleTech asked:

| Hi.
|
| I have been receiving tons of virus-infected e-mails which are caught
| by my anti-virus software. The software changes the attachment into
| a .txt file that explains what the original file was named and what
| virus it had.
|
| Here is my question: How does one set a rule that can move an e-mail
| into a different folder, based on the title of the attached file?
| All of the attachments have filenames that begin with "Norton
| AntiVirus..."
|
| To clarify, an e-mail that contains an infected attachment is caught
| by the anti-virus software. The AV software changes the attachment
| to a .txt file named "Norton AntiVirus ______" where the last part of
| the filename varies. The e-mail should be moved to a folder, maybe
| even deleted, so my inbox is not cluttered up with this
| virus-infected e-mail nonsense.
|
| Thanks for your time.

View a header of the messages - does it include the filename in the header?
if so, look for words in the header. this get most, but not all of the
messages.

Doesn't include the filename in the header.

There must be a filter or some field somewhere that indicates the attached document's file name??!!

Not one that is exposed in the rules wizard. You can use VBA or 3rd party
addins to look for filenames.
