"with 'words' in the subject or body" won't find HTML
Rules wizard won't find the words in the list if they're HTML. Edit the email by changing from HTML to plain text, re-run the rule, and it finds the word.
How do I make OL2000 SP3 find the HTML?

Here's the rule that doesn't work with HTML:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with 'valium' or 'prescription' in the subject or body
permanently delete it
except if from C Youngblood or Chris Walling
stop processing more rules

Hmmm it I have similar rules and they work for me however I am using Outlook 2002
Perhaps this might help
on the meny do Help > Detect and Repair.

Also your rule wizard file may be corrupted or parts of it may be. For testing try this
Locate your *.rwz file
if you are using Win2000 or XP then you should find it here
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Profile Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\*.r
and move the *.rwz to another folder for backup purposes.
Then recreate just that rule and see if it now works. Also this rule may be in conflict with other rules.

I'm running Windows98 2ED. I've experimented with running only the one rule with no difference. However, I've not tried recreating the rules from scratch. I'll test that idea next and let you know.

I did the test with no difference. Still didn't catch the offending word.
Below is the HTML source from that email with the word "Pinochle" substituted for the offensive noun. Perhaps the answer can be gleaned from this.
