I grabbed it and have it working.  Something that confused me was the
need to mark the groups before searching.

I've changed the IMAP search function to allow me to specify the full
string passed to the IMAP server:

;                 (imap-search (concat "TEXT \"" qstring "\"") buf))
                 (imap-search qstring buf))

Which allows searches such as:
        sentsince 13-jun-2000 body "woolly mammoth"
which is much quicker (on my Cyrus server anyway) than:
        text "woolly mammoth"
Admittedly, they don't necessarily produce the same results (the
latter is likely to get more), but that's part of the reason for the
change.

Thanks - it's most splendid !
