Re: Filter message based on body text

[Rob Avie]

I was hoping for an answer for this, did you get one Adam or figure it out? 

I have a similar problem. I have mail arriving to me from multiple addresses/domains with different subjects but the body always contains the same "unique" word. I really want all of these emails to go under a specific label/filter. Currently they are floating to different categories which makes it impossible to find them. And creating new filters each time I have a new email about it (basically adding another person to the email list) is cumbersome. 

I can run a search each time i open gmail and filter them manually this way but I can't find an automated filter way to do it which drives me crazy.

Any answers?

Hi all,

Having a tricky time with a particular filter. I'd like to be able to filter out messages that are cc'ed to me but where my first or last name do NOT appear in the body of the email. Tried this a few ways but because my first name is in my email address putting my name in the "has the words" along with "cc:me" is producing false positives. Is there a way to specify the "has the words" to only search in the message body?

Thanks,

A

​Adam was looking ​for a way to filter  messages with a name in the body while ignoring that name in the to: or cc: field.  As far as I know, Gmail's filters don't let you do that.  But maybe there is a way that I don't know.

​Can't you just search for that one word?​

​It appears you are creating filters based on the sender's name, which doesn't make sense if the key thing is not the name but the "unique" word in the body.

I can run a search each time i open gmail and filter them manually this way but I can't find an automated filter way to do it which drives me crazy.

​If you can find the messages with a search, then you can make a filter do the same thing.  Just put the same search terms into the filter while you are creating it.  If the key thing is that unique word, then put the word in the "Has the words" field, and don't put anything in any of the other fields.

I see you mentioned "automated filter".  I'm not sure what that means.

​I think your question is off-topic to this particular discussion ... you should create a new one with an appropriate subject.

If you are banned from a Google group, I would expect that you need to communicate with the group's moderator(s) to get yourself un-banned.

To subscribe to a group, find the group, then click "Apply to join group".

If a group is limited and works by invitations only, then you would need an invitation.
