What I read on the MozillaZine knowledge base is that the word Body is only in the list when you have a POP3 account, but that it is possible to add it when you have an IMAP account and that it still works. My problem is that this kind of information is sometimes not up to date, and that the removal of the Body keyword in the IMAP account may have been the first step of removal of the feature of body text search that maybe is no longer present in the current version. A further problem is that all other words in this list are translated to my local language, and it may be that I do not have to add "Body" but some other word like "Berichttekst" that I do not know. So I may have tried with the wrong keywords. At any rate, it does not match anything I try. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
