Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. It seems these guys know how SA treats their messages :( There have been discussions before about "amplifying" rules, but I am not sure whether it is possible. I would say that both english and german versions of this "BUSINESS PROPOSAL" share a few characteristics that could be combined like a meta rule - subject all caps - at least one run of all caps words somewhere in the body - mentioning dollars (is detected) - mentioning specific places (Lagos and Abijan are common - there are spelling variants on Abidjan) As for the all caps rule, it is hard to understand why it was written not to fire on a single excessively long word.
