If you use something like Gmail that has a web client that offers search, that can help, but if you don't, you'll have to either set it to download the full message every time. I think IMAP might offer a way of telling the server to run the search for you, but I'm not sure... either way, I'm not using a client that supports it, so it doesn't really matter to me. </BODY> </HTML>
