I know. Have a look at
http://home.student.utwente.nl/p.g.m.peters/outlookrule_viewlet.html.
But you can't tell Outlook to look for a specific word in a specific
header. You can tell Outlook to check the To:, Cc:, Subject: seperatly
but not any other header. In Agent you can use rules like
"X-UTwente-MailScanner-SpamCheck: SpamAssassin" in which you include
both the header to look for _and_ the word to check in that header.
