I will try to explain. The F7 option is what I meant. Like F8 can call
up the address book, there is also an option on the taskbar icon
context menu. It would be nice if the F7 search option also was
available here. Thanks for the thought of 'mailbag assistant' but I
was looking for a solution using TB! not another program. I hope this
clarifies what I was trying to explain.
On an added matter the 'search window' only appears on the main
window. I do most of my work with TB! from a window opened up via mail
ticker and search window is not available here. (It would be nice if
it were). Whilst the virtual window is open, I hit F7. I was asking
for a search option when no TB! window is open, and access is only via
taskbar icon and its context menu. The scenario is if I am asked to
find an email and need to search my database. With no TB! window open,
I have to 'restore' TB! and then hit F7. If I need the address book,
I right click taskbar icon and select address book. Would that F7
search was here, I would save a small step, but it might be useful.
