I don't recall when it was introduced, but my daughter is still using v4.2.44.2 and the three modes are there. If you don't see the 'Web-Like' option is probably because that is the option you are using. In this case, the only options you will see are 'Simple' and 'Advanced'. If you select 'Simple', the options you will see are 'Web-Like' and 'Advanced', and if you select 'Advanced' you will see 'Web-Like' and 'Simple' as options (alternatives). -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Either I'd forgotten, or more likely never knew, the other modes, so thanks for that. But... I still can't find the message I was looking for with either 'Simple' or 'Advanced.' To be more specific than in my OP, and following your pointers, I just tabbed into the 'Sent' folder, pressed Ctrl+F, and Message Finder came up with the 'Sent' sub-folder ticked and everything else unticked. I chose 'Simple' (search type). In the drop-downs I chose 'Recipient' and 'contains,' typed "map" (without quotes; part of the target e-mail recipient's address is onthemap)) in the unlabelled search text box, checked all boxes in the Advanced tab remained unticked, clicked Start, and got nothing. I did a few more similar tests; TB finds some strings readily, others it can't seem to see at all. Yet Quick Search works like a charm. -- Regards, Robert Bull mailto:theb...@theluminousvoid.plus.com Using The Bat! v6.2.4 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 Current version is 6.1.8 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Search puzzle
I wanted to search for messages I'd sent to the editors of our parish magazine. I went to the relevant account's Sent folder and pressed Ctrl+F (F7 works as well) to invoke the Message Finder. I checked the Sent folder was ticked in the Look in: Selected folders list. TB didn't retrieve any such message, even with Scope -> Everywhere. Yet, when I tried find-as-you-type Quick Search, then Enter, all such messages appeared. Please, what have I failed to understand about Message Finder? Minor suggestion - on the Message Finder screen, there's a box to tick for scope = Everywhere. Maybe that should be a toggle, to bulk untick as well. -- Regards, Robert Bull mailto:theb...@theluminousvoid.plus.com Using The Bat! v6.2.4 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 Current version is 6.1.8 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
