I'm sure it WORKS. But you are including all the news messages in the
search, even though you know you don't want to examine them. My situation: I
had about 1000 mail messages, and five newsgroups which apparently
referenced over 3000 messages. I wanted to search JUST the mail, not the
news. (In fact I did not even realize the news messages were there; I had
not accessed the newsgroups in weeks.) The way you propose does exclude the
news messages from the results, but it still wastes time examining them.
Finds are slow enough...!

And how do you do that? I honestly could not find it in a menu or contextual
menu. Oh, crap! I just went to look again and saw the button in the toolbar!
I think yesterday that must have been covered by my OneClick toolbar for
Entourage (I usually display it above the window but I think the window had
been pushed up so its top was hidden by the OC toolbar). I can't imagine how
I missed it otherwise. Duh!

That's useful info, thanks. I feel really dumb about missing that
unsubscribe button!!
