- Hi Mark!
-
- Maximus can do something similar with its message areas (with the Browse
- command, you can search for strings in any or all or some of the To, From,
- Subject, or Body fields). You can either read the whole message, or display
- the message number and a one-line description with the To, From and Subject
- fields.

- Cheers,
