Hey Bill Cool, a new SEARCH function - that is awesome!!!
Two questions: 1. The archiving function begins I assume as of the date of your message 12/19/02. Or are there earlier messages in the database as well? 2. Your SEARCH-n - does that mean how many days BACK to search? I.e, if I wanted to search for emails about LAUNCH in the past 30 days, I would enter SEARCH-30? Is that correct?
