I have an IMAP account set up in Outlook 2010. This account receives notices from scheduled tasks. It receives a LOT of messages.

I want to filter the messages that contain error reports into a new folder. I created a rule in Outlook that looks for specific text in the message. The problem is that the filter doesn't seem to see the text unless I have already viewed the message. How can I work around this limitation?

EDIT

This post was originally for Outlook 2003. I am now using Outlook 2010.
