I need to create outlook rules to forward incoming emails to correct staff
members. Incoming emails are almost identical exception for sample file
name. So I need to be able to say for example if "CP*HB* in body of email
then forward to user john. If "CP*WW* then forward to sue. I am not able to
get the asterik character working in outlook rules. But the strange thing is
with the initial testing it did work. Can I use wild card characters in
outllok rules or not? Is there a special syntax I'm to follow?

Outlook does not support wild card characters in rules.
