Mail Rules Not Working

Hi:
I established 4 mail rules that were working fine, but now they are not.
Two rules apply to specific words in either the subject or message body.
Neither of these are deleting emails as previously.
Anybody know what the cause and cure is?
Thanks

Not based on the information supplied. Paste in all rules in the order
they're listed.

Hi Frank:
I do not seem to find a way to Copy and Paste the Rules. No options that I
can find allow me to do this with the Rules. However, Rule 1 applies to
delete specific words in the Subject while Rule #2 applies to deleting words
in the message body. I can send test emails with these words now and it does
not delete the email as the rule states etc.

Hi Frank:
Something apparently corrupted all of my Rules. I deleted all of them and
reestablished them and now they seem to be working fine.
Thanks

A rule that looks to delete a word in the body cannot be complied with until
the message is downloaded to your computer. If the text then matches the
rule, it will be moved to the Deleted Items folder. You cannot delete it
from the server since Outlook Express cannot determine if the words are
there until it is downloaded.
To copy/paste the rule, just use the mouse to highlight the text of the rule
in the bottom box, then paste it into your post.
