It would be a useful option though, I suppose. As an contrasting example, I think the search window has bugs in the respect that the expectations a virgin user may reasonably have on the results, will not show in the results. This because of the limitations of what is indexed (words, not substrings and not everything that the user may consider words, like "[listname]" for example), that may be reasonable technically, but the normal user don't know much about this and expect to find what's there, not what actually was indexed. But how the interface could better to give more true expectations I'm not sure. Perhaps time for changes in the manual... PM 5.2.3 Swedish | OS X 10.3.9 | Powerbook G4/400Mhz | 1GB RAM | 30GB HD
