It works for me also, but this pre-send and post-send have always
confused me. This is from the online help:

" 'Outgoing (Pre-Send)' filtering is
 performed on every outgoing message, before it is
 sent. 'Outgoing (Post-Send)' filtering is applied after
 each outgoing message, but before the message is
 deposited in your 'Sent' folder. "

For me it seems that all are Post-Send, as I get the filter triggered
after I hit F5. Pre-Send I think would be that the filter is triggered
when the message is on the way to the outbox. I would be very happy if
someone could shed light upon this matter.

Your welcome.

This null message problem is for me a worser problem than HTML -mail.
It would be good if the e-mail clients could automatically filter them
out prior send. In fact, in Messenger of Communicator you get a
warning prior the e-mail reaches the outbox.  You then do not have to
correct the message, when being online.

Sincerely Yours
