Hello Dierk, It was foretold that on Monday, November 12, 2001 at 08:53 GMT +0100, Dierk Haasis [DH] would type:

I find the fastest and easiest search is for the '@' character in the sender field to match all messages. I have yet to see an instance where it will fail, and it is searching in a small string. Sure it can be done with RegExps, but that means TB has to load another module. That must add some time to the filter processing. While for one filter on one message the differences are probably not noticeable, when you have lots of filters and/or lots of messages, the delays can be significant. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
