If I go to Menu->View->View Only... (or click the small "eye" icon in the middle of the Mail Browser window) I get the smal tool for filtering out text in the 'from', 'to' or 'subject' fields.
In my PowerMail Discuss Folder there are 15 incoming mails addressed to me personally. When checking each mail individually with the alternative "Show Simple Header", all 15 show [Max Gossell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] in the 'to' field. The reason, I guess, is I exist in my own address book. Because if turn on "Show Full Header" 10 of them have been addressed to [Max Gossell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] and the other 5 have been addressed to [<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]. Now, 1) If I choose the option 'to' in the View Only tool and write "max" in the text field I get 15 hits = correct. 2) If I write "gossell" in the text field I get 10 hits = understandable, but not optimal. should be 15 as well. 3) If I write "progettoavanti.com" or "prog" or any other shortening of the domain name in the text field I get 5 hits = BLOODY HORRIBLE. Opposite: 4) If I choose the option 'from' in the View Only tool and write "max" or "gossell" in the text field I get 92 hits = correct. 5) If I write "progettoavanti.com" or "prog" or any other shortening of the domain name in the text field I get 0 hits = now understandable, but EQUALLY BLOODY HORRIBLE. A search/filtering tool you can't trust is a tool you can't use at all. And you are back to your own memory or manual looking through zillions of mails. This seems to me as it should be a pretty easy fix. At least having the filter check everything in the "real" 'to' and 'from' fields. Can we have it. Soon? Max G
