Thanks for the followup, guys!

James, I implemented what you talked about from Issue 601. I think that will 
definitely help!

Janos, we can do multiple searches if MailPiler can't handle a complex search 
like we were attempting. (I don't know if other archivers can do it, either, so 
don't think I'm slamming MailPiler!) We were able to find the data we needed; 
it just seemed more difficult than it should have been.

RE: eml file names... That is a good point. If you try to save multiple emails 
from Outlook, for example, it prompts saying that it already has a file saved 
with that name (after the first). So, even Microsoft doesn't automatically 
handle it. Would it be possible to export the emails by subject, appending a 
number based of sent time (1,2,3, etc., oldest being 1, incrementing the number 
with newer emails)?

RE: Time & Date search...  Is this something that can't be done? Or would this 
better be served as a feature request on BitBucket?

Hello Stephen,

well, check the maillog if the parsed query looks OK. Anyway it might be easier 
to do two search queries:

from: ema...@domain.com OR ema...@domain.com OR ema...@domain.com,
date1: 2015-09-18

then another:

to: ema...@domain.com OR ema...@domain.com OR ema...@domain.com, date1: 
2015-09-18

If you insist on running a single query, then start with the date:

date1: 2015-09-18, (from: ema...@domain.com OR ema...@domain.com OR
ema...@domain.com)
OR (to: ema...@domain.com OR ema...@domain.com OR ema...@domain.com)

Also check the maillog if the sphinx query is built properly.

might be possible, however how to deal with a message thread having 5 messages 
with the same subject, eg. Re: what was this?

well, the date parser handles year, month and day only. Don't specify 
anything else.

Btw. James is right with the highlighting, it was fixed recently in the 
master branch.
