i think it would be a much appreciated feature. and having the backend in place, i think one can easily extend it to search other information in the headers (e.g. explicitly search for to, mozilla flags, etc.) thou i have no time in helping you implement it, i would gladly test it after i get some time after nov. 19th. cheers, raoul -- ____________________________________________________________________ DI (FH) Raoul Bhatia M.Sc. email.
