not sure if this applies to p9p, but ned (mail with no arguments on plan 9) is really good for finding stuff. g/sender/h is typically enough to find mail from a particular person. and there are other options that search particular header fields, or the body. i prefer the unix-style interface to search boxes. unfortunately the results of a search are not themselves a mailbox. - erik
