Oh, I have no problem with this, because I'm used to filing large amounts of crud at work, so I can remember where mails have been filed for the most part. If worse comes to worst, I search in mail searching through the contents of all the mail.

Spotlight or searchlight or whatever the new search engine is called will do the trick, because Mail is merely text files, so it'll have no trouble finding the text in the mail messages. I'd bet it won't be able to find keywords tied to pictures which are attached to email, though. Bill | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 25.
