Nice; it works well! However, I do have a message for which `^' finds the parent article via nnir but where `C-u A T' fails, saying the search produced no results. On the other hand, when I execute the nnir IMAP search I prescribed in the other thread or (header message-id ) (header references ) it works perfectly. So something is not quite sufficient in the query. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
