re: Cryptic spam
Tom, you are never going to block spam through Outlook rules. I tried this method for 3 months, but found rules take far too long to add and maintain. I use Popfile to sort the spam out. I've mentioned it before, but it really works great. It is Open Source and has a good cummunity behind it.
Its not hard once you get it set up and learn to maintain it. I am now at 99.9% accuracy.

PS all those random words are put in to get around Beyesian Filters like Popfile. It very rarely works.
