Spam rule for long word in subject line..

My apologies, but my last question on this topic is archived (that seems quick).. but
Surely there must be a way to create a spam rule that checks for words in the subject line that are, say more than X characters long. The new spam that is driving my batty with very long single words in the subject line are just not filterable as the content, the site, the eddress etc are rotating so quickly.
If not, APPLE, can you add this pleeeeeease? thanks, drew..

You mean like "Offfice2010IissBetterThannEver.GeetItFfromAuthroizeddOEMOnlineStore"? (I suspect a lot of us get those!) While I agree with you in principle, I don't think Apple should hard-bake an option for "subject length" into the rule panel, since it's really something that you want Mail's own junk filter to pick up.
Even better is if your mail provider can mark it as junk before it gets into Mail. Gmail has pretty strong junk filters. Some providers (especially if you own the domain) allow you to adjust the junk level to catch more spam. You can often set a spam prefix at the server, so that when Mail gets the message, the subject looks something like "* SPAM * [original subject]" - you can then set a rule that finds these and files them appropriately.

Is anyone finding out a good best practice on size and wording of subject lines?

we test a lot and what works this time seems to be changing rapidly...just wondering what everyone else is seeing out there when it comes to uniqe, eye catching subject lines

I read a great article on some tests that that Hubspot did called: Set Expectations with Email Subject Lines [Data]
What they found was that subject lines affect both open AND clickthrough rates. The point of the article is that the subject line must not just be used as a gimmick to get the email open but must set the right expectations as to what will be found in the email.
Here are the results:
54 New Data Slides for Your Marketing Decks - 13.7% (OR) - 26.0% (CTR)
65 New Marketing Charts for Your Presentations - 13.7%(OR) - 24.3%(CTR)
65 New Charts for Your Presentations - 14.3%(OR) - 22.8%(CTR)
Marketing Slide Show In-a-Box [Ready to use/share] - 14.1%(OR) - 14.8%(CTR)

Spotlight Search for Reminders: Only references subject line, not Reminder Notes

Just shipped 20 large boxes from west cost to east coast, they're going to be sitting in the garage of where I'm staying for a month. Using the Reminders app, I created Reminder for each box, in the subject line the box number and tracking number. In the Notes field for each Reminder I entered the details of the box contents, thinking that I could later search for a particular item, find the Reminder for it and know what box it's in.
Wish I'd tested my theory as I've now discovered that while Reminders are searchable with Spotlight on my iOS devices, it only references the subject line -- Spotlight ignores Reminder comments. Bummer :-(

Remove symbol # for long text in document line item

Dear Experts,
I enter some information in the long text field in document line item. For the area that I use "Tab" button, system will display as # symbol. Therefore when we print the information, the output will include the #### symbol which is not correct.
Please help.
Thanks.

When I send an email to someone it always says SPAM in the subject line. I know this because I "c.c." the message to myself and it says SPAM. How to stop this?

When I send a email to someone it always says SPAM in their subject line. I know this because I "cc" or b.c.c myself on important messages and when the "cc" or "bcc" comes back, it will say [SPAM] in front of whatever else I had written in the subject line to the intended recipient. How can I stop the word SPAM from showing up in the subject line of my own outgoing messages? I don't want the recipient delete my message thinking it is spam. Help!

Could you check whether [SPAM] appears on the subject line if you view your messages directly on the server (for example, using a webmail page in your web browser)? This will help distinguish an accusation coming from a web server vs. any spam filter you may have installed on your computer that examines the mail while Thunderbird retrieves it.

AT&T has rules for the iPhone 3G S launch - Lines allowed to form starting at 7am

AT&T has rules for iPhone 3G S launch - Lines allowed to form starting at 7am
Perhaps AT&T has learned some from the troubles with iPhone past launches and they are going to try to make the experience better by settings some rules this time around. While AT&T is calling these “rules” guidelines, we think it really is nothing more than an effort to make a success of what the company hopes is one of the biggest tech event launches of the year.
AT&T stores will receive inventory in time for the actual launch on June 19th. AT&T is already accepting pre-orders online as well as in stores. This change is key this time around because those that choose not to place a pre-order could be left out in the cold. From our understanding, pre-order customers will be given priority.
The way that it will work is when the AT&T store opens, customers in line will then be split into two lines, with those already having a pre-order placed in one line and those who don’t have a pre-order placed in the other line. Pre-order customers will be able to start receiving their new iPhone 3G S starting shortly after 7 A.M., while those without a pre-order will have to wait until the store’s official regular opening time. Upon the actual regular opening time of the store, the two lines will then be merged into one line again. Apple retail stores will also be an option as they will open at 8 A.M. on launch day, but only those that pre-order from the Apple retail store will actually be able to pick up their phones early.
As for the pricing, current AT&T customers that have had a contract with AT&T for at least 18 months will be able to get the new 16GB model for $199 or a 32GB model for $299. If you happen to be a current AT&T iPhone owner, but have not gone 18 months on your current contract, you will be able to pick up a new iPhone 3G S but will have to pay between $399 to $599, depending on how much time is left on your current contract and whether you want the 16GB or 32GB model. From what we understand, you will have to agree to another 2-year contract to get the iPhone 3G S this time around.
The only actual possible loophole in this deal is to cancel your current AT&T contract and pay the $175 early termination fee and then wait three months. After the three months have lapsed, you can return to AT&T and then get new customer pricing, which would save you $225, but you have to endure a three-month wait.
While the pricing and the options might make some AT&T customers unhappy, it is what it is. The bottom line is that the iPhone is still so hot, AT&T knows that people will pay what it takes to sport the new version if they are a big iPhone fan. According to our sources, AT&T should have enough inventory to more than cover the pre-orders, but beyond the pre-orders it is difficult to say if they will be able to meet the demand on launch day for additional units. Our advice is that if you want to have one on launch day, you had better get your pre-order in soon.

I believe if you are a current AT&T Customer and wish to ADD a new phone to your account you will be able to get the new 16GB model for $199 or a 32GB model for $299. I went through
http://www.apple.com/iphone/buy/
and selected "Add a new line to my existing account" and was shown pricing as $199 for 16 GB and $299 for 32 GB.
Hard to see this as any benefit unless you need an additional line on an existing account, which I happen to (I bought a new "additional line" 3G just before the 3GS was announced, and will fit into the "return" window)

Subject line question

In Mail 3.1, why am I unable to drag-drop text into the subject line?
I have always been able to select a portion of text from the message and drag it into the subject bar to form the message subject. Seems we are getting away from the core values of Mac OS when these intuitive features go away.
Or perhaps this is just a Bug?
Thanks, Chris

No -- 10.5.4 still has this hiccup. As others have pointed out, so long as the subject line has focus before you try to drag&drop, you can drag&drop from other active documents in other applications or even from other windows in Mail. But try to drag&drop from within the active message that you are composing, and as soon as you click on the text to drag, you lose focus on the subject line and the text won't drop. But no problem with To From CC BCC or Reply-To. So highlight ⌘c ⌘v and its moused menubar equivalent appear to be the only work-around in the case of dealing with the active message being composed. I just love new features....

I want to use system and job variables to make the information dynamic in the Email Subject Line

Someone could mention the subject line character limitation needs to be expanded. 50 chars is not much to work with!
Is it possible to make SUBJECT Line to make , use system and job variables to make the information dynamic , Right now there is a limit for Characters in the Subject line ... is it possible to expand ???

I've encountered the same issue and worked around it by using generic variables that would always be the same for a certain email alert. eg = "System XYZ -source file delay for :"
So a sample subject would then be:
Where ENV = DEV/UAT etc.
This functionality allows you to use generic alert templates for all filewait jobs, and just filling in the variables.
A slight problem is that although this works very well, the use of group variables in email / alert actions is (/ wasn't) officially supported by Cisco when I last ran it past then. Cisco, any update in this?

Somehow accidentally hid the To/From/Subject line headers on individual messages.

In trying to change some individual display settings, I somehow managed to turn off the header for the To/From/Subject line fields on emails when you open them in a new window. It only affects emails you open from the inbox to read in a new window. Hitting forward or reply or opening a new message to compose still works.
I am honestly not sure what this section is called, which is presumably why I can't figure out how to un-hide it.
Thanks!

Creating truly custom mail rule - Subject line word length?

hey, first post... i am noting tons of spam where the subject line is one long mess consisting of junk words. There is no custom rule category allowing me to set something similar to:
if SubjectLine has word with length >20 Junk It..
Until Apple catches up to spammers and gives that to us, can anyone help me perhaps do this sort of thing? thanks, drew..

i solved this myself and can be contacted privately for the answer..

Mail is putting the word SPAM at the beginning of subject line of messages

Mail is putting the word SPAM at the beginning of subject line of a large percentage of messages in my in box that are not junk. My Mail Junk Preferences don't seem to affect this. Any ideas?

Dale Borglum wrote:

I don't think Mail can actually do that. It might be something being done by the spam filter running on the mail server at your ISP.
If you have access to your mail through webmail or a different mail program, try leaving Apple Mail closed for a while and only reading mail in one of the other ways. If the SPAM word keeps getting tacked on even when Apple Mail is not running, Apple Mail is not the one doing it.

GW dropping spaces between words in long Subject Lines

It this a known issue with GWIA perhaps?
On our system (703HP3) at least I can produce the issue by typing a very
long subject line in the email. I sent a single message to my internal GW
account and to my internet alias. When I received the email to my internal
GW account the space was not removed but it was removed in the email sent to
my internet alias. In the message source the subject is correct. What seems
to be happening is that any word or text after the 60 character spot removes
that space between the word or text.
Has anyone seen this in their environment?
Thanks!
Lee

Thanks Jeff. We are actually experiencing it on the HP4 GWIA as well. If
it is a simple fix that can be added that would be great! If not I
understand and I will get the word out to our customers about it being a
known issue with GroupWise. Please let me know...
Thanks,
Lee

I want to ask a question but is it supposed to go in this "Ask Your Question" field or should this really be a synopsis or a tersely worded teaser, like a "subject" line?

Oh.
When I pushed the "Ask your question of the community" I got this empty box. But I've already asked my question. Should I copy and paste it into this box?
> I want to ask a question but is it supposed to go in this "Ask Your Question" field or should this really be a synopsis or a tersely worded teaser, like a "subject" line?<
There. Now I have asked the same question, which is of questionable value, for sure, twice. So, if someone answers it, they will get twice the points. Right? Or is there another box for that? Should I paste the question into another box? Twice?
I've been around here for a l-o-n-g time, longer than ol' BenB by several years, so you'd think I'd know better.
Maybe I do.

SPAM shows in subject line of mail

On mail I recieve from one person it always reads ****SPAM**** in the subject line. It does not show up as junk mail. The person is a contact in my address book, so does anyone know how I can get the system to recognise that it's not SPAM?
Thanks for any assistance

It may actually be your mail server that is adding *JUNK* to your subject line and not Mail. For example, my school's server adds *SPAM* to mail it thinks is spam, and it gets delivered to my inbox like that. It's then up to me to decide what to do with it. If this is the case with you too, I'm not sure if there's anything simple you can do about it on your end. If the messages being marked with *JUNK* are actually junk, I suppose you could just add a rule that sends those messages to your junk folder; if they're not junk, it may be something you have to just deal with.
Of course this may not be what you are experiencing at all
