I've never had anything like that happen. I don't have Mavericks installed yet (lack of free time mostly -- have it downloaded but not installed) so this is 10.8.x and earlier on all my OS X machines. > > To:[email protected] > From:[email protected] > Subject:mercury fulminate and poodles > > All work perfectly in OS X. I start typing and it progressively starts limiting what it will search for. I've typed "apple.com" and had it limit me to message body only in some instances. And this is on all my OS X machines, not just one, where I've seen this. I've literally been unable to find through a search field entry a mail I was looking for from an apple.com address. But I found it just scanning the mail list for that account (so I know it was there). This has happened often to me, looking for various emails that I know are there, but Apple Mail reduces the choices to just message body (it starts with sender and subject and variations but as I type in more, ends up with just message body). It has been a few weeks or more since I last had the issue so maybe the last 10.8.x update I installed fixed it. I have had it relatively recently and with some versions of 10.8.x. trying tonight to reproduce has not been successful so maybe it is fixed afterall. My blood pressure has gone up in the relative recent past on this so if fixed, it was recently fixed. I'll try the Macbook tomorrow as it is probably a point release behind. > > And I'm not sure when it was added, but at least in 10.9 I can add any header > to the rules section to match on, which is a welcome relief, but I haven't > figured out if I can do a live search in those headers (like searching for a > message-id). No clue if you can live search on random headers but being able to specify a custom header in the rules section has been there forever, if I am understanding what you are talking about. I've been keying off of some custom headers for spam detection since at least 10.5. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
