Right clicked on 'Inbox', selected 'Find...', in the 'Message:' field typed some string that is contained within the e-mail, clicked on 'Find Now', however no e-mail containing string searched for was found. Thanks in advance for suggestions Peter |

Thanks in advance for suggestions Peter If the E-mail's text is a actually a picture file with text in it, then the find will not work on that. Spammers like to do this to foil the search inside a message filter. If it actually is text your searching through, then sorry I don't know. Hope this helps some, Shawn |
