search builder bug?

[wngoju]

click search builder; type joe blow into the from box. save the search. search. I get messages which have "From: Joe Blow" <anywhere> in the message, not just those msgs which are actually from joe, which is what I would expect. Ie, it finds my responses to any msg from joe in addition to his original. Using FF 1.5.0.1, zim 3.0.0_GA_156.RHEL4 Feb 6, 2000

Are you in conversation view? Do you have the originals included (eg, quoted) in your replies?

[wngoju]

in message view.

yes the responses are included, but I would not expect the search to search the whole mesg for a matching from line, only the top-level header.

btw, the ">" quoting does not seem to be working... instead, I get an outlook like header at the beginning:

----- Original Message -----
From: Jane Blow <jane@wildpackets.com>
To: all <all@ourcompany.com>
Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 12:21:38 PM GMT-0800
Subject: FW: stuff

what is the search string that shows up for that search? you can enable "Always Show Search String:" in the General tab of the Options, then the search string shows up in the search box at the top of the ui

btw, the ">" quoting does not seem to be working... instead, I get an outlook like header at the beginning:

you can set this in the Mail tab of the Options where it says "Reply includes original text:" set the pull-down to "In the body with a prefix" and set "Prefix each included line with:" to ">"

ah. I have to press the "search" button. The auto-search as described in the docco does not seem to work. If I press the "search" button, the search happens as expected. Then if I save the search, it works as expected when trying it again. If I save a search by just describing it without having pressed "search" once, it behaves unpredictably. Before, I was saving searches without having pressed "search" before saving.
