General Software Discussion / Need a way to modify a Subject Line in Outlook Email using Scripts or Rules
« on: April 14, 2014, 07:54 PM »
Help! I hope someone else has had to do this and it is easy to accomplish.
Being the IT guy, I have full access to our mail server. So I Know for a fact this is not being done there or by us.
But some mail server or some application (or maybe some malware ?) has decided to put the word "***SPAM***" in the subject line if a lot of email that is sent from a couple of users here. I have tried my best to explain to them that if they Don't even bother to delete that word before they forward the message on, it leave me with no way to know when it happened.
But trying to explain email "How Email Really Works" to most people is the subject of many a cartoon.
Right now I just need a Bandage to get by until I can figure out who did it to whom.
I cannot see a way to remove that from the subject line. I can scan for it find it but my options if it is found do not include "remove this word" which is all I need for now.
I know this has happened in the past with AVG but no one uses AVG and this header marker is VERY specific it ALWAYS puts that same "***SPAM***"
Preceding the subject. If I could get it out for now it would help. They forward email back and forth constantly so this mark is all there but who knows from where it started?
Any help with a temporary fix would be appreciated. It sounds more like something MALWARE would do to me.
