What kind of erroneous results? How is the personal_id field defined? The statement you have is syntacically correct so it must be something in the data. If the personal_id is a numeric ID and you're storing it as characters, this will sort differently than if you're sorting by number.

Actually, I have a message filter that looks for mysql.com in the "To or CC" portion of the header and moves any mail to my mySQL folder. Thus I can tell which messages are from mysql list members and which messages are from my supervisors. Still, it might be nice to add the [MYSQL] piece in
