Maybe I agree it should allow you to search lower headers too... but when you select the anywhere clause, I think it shouldn't actually hit the attachments. >> I have two theories as to why they stop filtering past the standard >> headers, and the main body. > The biggest part of the message may be the body; you can search for > signla strings in it.

Attach a 10kb file to an email, write 25 lines of jumbled up rubbish, email it to yourself, then view the source of the email. Which bit is longer? Just as a silly point, the actual headers used with attachment are technically part of the body. The headers end after the last line up the top, and a double CRLF. Although technically still headers, they are not the emails headers, just MIME headers for attachments. If you're into that kind of thing, try reading RFC 821, 822, and 2045. The last is more of an extension of RFC 822, describing more on the body part of emails (MIME attachments for example), as RFC 821, and 822 limited it's descriptions to just plain text emails only. I'm sure we can forgive them, RFC822 was written in 1982 ;) - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Fingerprint: 676A 1701 665B E343 E393 B8D2 2B83 E814 F8FD 1F73 iQA/AwUBPbuKnCuD6BT4/R9zEQJsXwCgk1qQEmjEe1jhdbAEwUQ4C7r9y1UAnA25 r8BfKm4v/YJz+A4vW6wY75RX =cWJX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
