You may need to open a bug report. I wonder whether it is a bug, or whether the filters work correctly and find the search string somewhere else in the many headers. @Tom: Can you say something about this? Even if it is the whole email address, maybe it is contained somewhere also in the headers? - Sounds like a weird question, but I use search extensively and cannot confirm that there are results that do not match the search string. > Anyway, until you are sure that searching Header works, for all > correspondence with one person you can search for Sender .OR. > Recipient.

I hardly do any searches for email, but if Header is an option, it should work. You may need to open a bug report. Anyway, until you are sure that searching Header works, for all correspondence with one person you can search for Sender .OR. Recipient. Also, you may want to set up Options/Preferences/Address History. https://www.ritlabs.com/en/support/help/76/# -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Thanks, I do use sender or recipient too but sometimes you are just searching for all correspondence with one person and then it would be good to use header. I think I did this in the past without issues and only in the last 3 months, I got that problem. Sorry about the incorrect footer.

Either we're doing something > wrong or it just doesn't work correctly. Instead of using broad searches like Header, I search specific headers such as Sender and/or (as appropriate) Recipient. It works well over here, I do not get results that contain any false positives. I have a filter to move messages to a certain folder, and it contains only three letters in Headers. I get a lot of false positives, because this combination can be in any of the headers by coincidence or for another reason. -- Cheers, Thomas. Message reply created with The Bat!

As you stated above you get heaps of results none of which have anything to do with the header entered. I get those same results almost every time I search for something. It helps sometimes to change the search target. Instead of HEADER you can try TEXT or ANY PART. This works sometimes but not nearly often enough. Either we're doing something wrong or it just doesn't work correctly. BTW, apparently your cut mark doesn't work as you can see. It has to be dash dash space. I think you're missing the trailing space. -- Regards, Jack Central Alabama USA The Bat!

search for emails
Hello Everyone, not sure but it seems a setting in my bat has changed preventing me from searching an email by header. I am sure I did this in the past and it worked: using header: specific email address (either complete or parts of it), maybe adding some other criteria Now when doing so I am getting heaps of results which have nothing to do with the header entered. So instead of using just header, I need to use text brackets or something less useful. Anything I forgot or has something changed? -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 8.8.9 on Win 10 , 64bit Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
