indeed wrong; mairix j...@joe.com mairix j...@joe.com work order will do exactly what most people would think it would do. It has some special treatment of email addresses in addition to that. The substring wildcard "=" is rather unusual but makes sense once you actually make use of the additional parameter (which does approximate matching). Is mairix the only option for mboxes?
