- INQUIRE
- Allows you to scan the From:, To:, and Subject: fields of messages
- for a particular series of characters or words. The fewer letters
- you enter, the more likely you are to find what you're looking for.
-
- Inquire allows use of "wildcard" characters as follows:
-
- ? : matches any single character; i.e. "Th?t" finds "This" & "That"
- * : matches any number of instances of the same character; i.e.
- "x*yz" finds "xyz","yz", and "xxyz"
- + : matches one or more instances of a single character; i.e.
- "x+yz" finds "xyz" and "xxyz"
-
- To find a LITERAL question mark, asterisk or plus sign, precede it
- with a backslash, i.e. "\?", "\*", "\+"
