RE: Re: Archive search?

[Guest guest]

Good tips, Ed. That is pretty much how I do it. I wish it would search

larger chunks of the archive at a time.

One thing on point #3, when you find a message you can hold down shift

and click on the message subject to open the found message in a new

window. This will let you look at the item while retaining what was

going on in the search process. When you're done viewing you can close

the new window and go on to the " Next " block of messages.

Re: Archive search?

Yeah, the old archive problem.

Here is the best way I found how to do it:(if anyone knows a better

way please let us know).

1. The obvious step: Enter desired-text-string in search-field and

click on " Search Archive " . This will search the latest 100-200

messages.

It will also clear the search-field. Don't worry about that.

2. Click the " Next " button (NOT " Previous " !)This will search

the " next older " 100-200 msgs in the archive.

3. Repeat step 2 till you get tired/satisfied.

IMPORTANT. When you get a hit, write down the msg number, but don't

click on it to read the msg yet. If you do, you will interrrupt the

search and will have to start all over with step 1 at the top of the

archive.

4. Access each individual msg found in steps 1-3 by entering its msg

no in the msg-number field.

Good luck,

Ed
