SYMPTOMS
When you create a rule in Outlook 2002 that is based on a message with the ampersand (&) character in it, the Rules Wizard does not list the condition to check without the ampersand (&) character.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The following is an example:

If you have a message with the subject &quot;R&D,&quot; and you right-click the message, and then click Create Rule, in the Rules Wizard under the Which condition(s) do you want to check option, the condition &quot;with RD in the subject&quot; is listed.

However, if you look at the rule description in the second part of the dialog, the ampersand (&) character is added to the rule as expected and performs the desired action when a message comes in that meets the criteria.
