In addition to finding out that the above didn't work I also am plagued with search returns which have no match to the search string anywhere . As an experiment I just did a search: ANY PART - CONTAINS - pun and received 346 messages which ostensibly contain the string "pun". In examining them I find most DO NOT contain the string "pun". Not in the body or in the header. Why? I just did another search: HEADER - CONTAINS - pun. 115 messages returned and the few I looked at did not have the string "pun" in the header. Again why? I am giving TB! the benefit of the doubt here and assume I just don't understand something, but I do it grudgingly. -- Regards, Jack LaRosa Central Alabama USA Using TB! 6.0.12 OS: Windows, Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

No, as it turns out I'm beginning to realize that there may not be a solution for this *exact* situation. I actually found the email in question by specifying a date range (resulting in a much smaller number of hits) and then looking at all that returned from the search. Examining *that* email I saw that "onco" was a part of a string something like "oncomedicine". Knowing that, I asked myself how I could have set up the search parameters to have found only the email which contained "oncomedicine while still searching only for "onco".
