Filtering in the body on a specific phrase, the whole phrase and nothing but the whole phrase

[Dean Pennington]

When I try to create a filter based on a specific phrase appearing in the body it acts on and finds every email which has any of the words in the phrase.

I've tried to circumvent that overreach by putting the phrase in single and separately later double quotes, but it still finds all mails that use any of the words in the phrase.

I've tried entering each word in the phrase with a + or & between each of the words, but that also  finds all mails that use any of the words in the phrase.

So, how can I isolate offending emails by an oft repeated phrase that comes in by different senders? I can't be the only person that ever needed this?

Thanks in advance, Dean

Dean,

Putting double quotes around a phrase always works for me.  I think it's safe to say that it always works.  That is how it is designed to work.

Just to be clear, by "double quotes", that means the special double-quote character.  One before and one after.  It does not mean two single-quote characters in a row.  Two single-quotes might look to our eyes like double-quotes, but they are not.

Don't bother with single quotes, with a + or & between words, or anything else.  Just put the double quotes around the phrase.  That's all.  Nothing else will do what you want.

Regards,

Andy
